The textile and clothing industry faces constant challenges shaped by innovation, sustainability, and global expansion. Mod'Unica, debuting on 26-27 February at Exponor's Pavilion 1, gathers key industry players to exchange insights and strategies for the sector’s future.
Day one focuses on sustainability and circular economy, with AE Minho and Susana Serrano of Circular Strategy leading discussions. AI and automation in industry will also be explored, along with key projects like RDC@ITV, Waste2BioComp, Digi4Fashion, and Texad. The day ends with Ricardo Costa’s book launch, Happiness is Profitable.
On day two, Daniel Agis, Pedro Garcia (MAAB Consulting), and Elsa Dionísio (Fashion Business Management) will discuss international expansion and sustainability challenges, supported by Modatex.
The University of Beira Interior (UBI) will share insights on new skills for the fashion ecosystem, while a debate on textile waste, led by ORT, and a study on the socio-economic impact of second-hand clothing in the EU and Africa, presented by Humana Portugal, will take center stage. Talks from Resotex, Metaskills4TCLF, and Vetrine projects round out the program.
Organized by ATP - Associaçao Textil e Vestuario de Portugal with Spormex Events, Mod'Unica strengthens Portugal’s position as a sustainable textile hub. The event builds on Modtissimo’s legacy, fostering collaborations across technical, home, and decorative textiles. Entry and sessions are free, making it a must-attend event for industry professionals.
