The consortium of the team partners focuses their research on developing bio-based raw materials to find alternative solutions to traditional plastics, mapping the textile industry’s application from the biopolymer to the manufacturing of the entire textile, and striving for a societal transformation towards bioeconomy. Since November 2019, adidas is co-leading the program in collaboration with the RWTH Aachen University.
The Bio Market Insights CEO and co-founder Alex Williamson teamed up with BIOTEXFUTURE during its bi-yearly forum, providing a deep dive into the business case and commercial opportunity for sustainable products. BIOTEXFUTURE has reached over 150 pioneers within the bioeconomic space, from research over NGOs to critical players in the industry within and outside Germany; the forum has established itself as a platform and convenor of changed bioeconomy.
