Material Innovation Initiative Conference
Event description
This event will bring together an industry ecosystem of retailers, brands, entrepreneurs, scientists, investors, academia, business incubators, raw material suppliers, mills, and nonprofits to explore opportunities and challenges and to accelerate the commercialization of next-gen materials.
The term “next-gen materials” refers to materials that are livestock free direct replacements for conventional animal-based leather, silk, down, fur, wool, and exotic skins. These replacement materials use a variety of biomimicry approaches to replicate the aesthetics and performance of their animal based counterparts.
