PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS
Fashion is embarking on a transformative journey towards transparency, regulation and innovation.
Especially in the Nordic, we are perceived as responsible but is the industry willing to invest in documenting this? Is blockchain the long-awaited evolution for fashion? A tool for transparency, documentation and competitive advantage?
Soon there is not room for keeping secrets in the supply chain and as a brand you must track and trace one thread at a time towards a consumer-facing transparency.
During this conversation specialist from brands, research and technology will discuss how technology not only supports the industry in meeting coming legislation but shows inspiring examples and collaborations that makes brands more competitive.
