The Fusion Fashion Tech Summit 2025, themed "Wear Your Old Clothes. Restore Our Planet." explores the intersections of circular economy, technology, and creative expression to redefine the future of sustainable fashion. This year, the summit tracks are broken up by the four interconnecting economies: circular, autonomous, creator, and attention.
This day-long event brings together leaders across regenerative agriculture, biomimicry, AI, natural resource governance, climate investing, material innovation, blockchain, and more to spotlight innovations that transform the industry from fiber to final product and beyond. The summit expands beyond fashion to feature a beauty industry panel focused on sustainable ingredients, ethical sourcing, and clean tech that mirrors the textile sector’s regenerative shift.
Attendees will also engage with critical discussions on scaling regenerative practices, bridging digital and physical experiences for consumers, and empowering creators to drive sustainable systems. With interactive sessions and groundbreaking showcases, the summit challenges industries to rethink consumption and production for a more equitable and regenerative future.
