What can you expect in the Innovation Area?

PERFORMANCE DAYS no longer sees its role solely as a sourcing fair for technical, sustainable fabrics in the performance, footwear, and accessories sectors – rather, it aims to exchange ideas with the industry, make new contacts, and ultimately obtain important information about innovations and new projects.

The Innovation Area gives the space to exchange ideas with the industry, create new contacts, and receive information about newest, unseen innovations and future projects.

It is split into booths and the Innovation Forum.

What is the Innovation Forum?

Discover the future of functional textiles: The Innovation Forum showcases the most exciting new developments from our exhibitors – selected by an expert jury from universities, brands, purchasing teams, and fabric technologists. Discover creative, sustainable materials and groundbreaking technologies that are market-ready today and set to shape tomorrow – with the opportunity to discuss them directly with the exhibitors at the fair.
