Future-ready textiles: Designing future sustainable scenarios
November 7 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Climate regulation, circular business models, labour shifts, and rapid technological disruption are reshaping the textile industry. To thrive, organisations need more than compliance: they need foresight, practical tools, and cross-sector collaboration.
Take compostable packaging: a promising innovation, but its impact is limited without proper disposal systems or local infrastructure. Imagine if it had been co-created with municipalities, behaviour experts, suppliers, and brands — designed for real system change and grounded in economic and social viability. That’s the kind of thinking this programme fosters.
This structured, three-part online journey will guide you from understanding system-wide industry drivers, to exploring future business scenarios, to designing actionable innovation portfolios. By completing all three modules, you will develop a project idea grounded in tangible scenarios, insights from leading industry players, and proven case studies, future-proofing your organisation while creating lasting value for your stakeholders.
Module 2: Designing future sustainable scenarios
Co-create opportunity-driven and risk-aware scenarios to guide the sustainable growth of the textile industry. Build structured visions of possible textile futures – from more AI-led to more human-led pathways. Scenarios are built by embedding sustainability into the organisation’s core strategy while identifying system-level shifts and new business opportunities within planetary boundaries.
Outcome: Clear scenarios, including skills and tools map (what expertise is needed, what exists, what’s missing) and gap analysis, built leveraging knowledge and real-life examples from key industry players.
