Call for CIRCULAR ROOMS – The International Forum for Digitalisation and Innovation in Fashion takes placeNEXT WEEK - on September 8–9, 2025 in Düsseldorf.
We will be represented by Rico Hänel as a speaker. He’ll showcase - together with Ralph Hürlemann our technical solutions around digital product data including Digital Product Passport (DPP) using a real-world customer case with the brand KAP KINGSANDPRIESTS.
We’ll also be present with our own booth and look forward to meeting you in person. If Düsseldorf isn’t on your travel map, we’re always happy to connect and exchange ideas on digitalisation and circular economy in fashion.
