THE FUTURE OF THE DISTRICT: The battle in the EU and the market
January 24, 2024The presence of companies from the Prato textile supply chain at the ‘Ecomondo’ fair in Rimini is increasingly significant.
The international event dedicated to ecological transition, scheduled to run until November 10, represents a moment of dialogue between industries, stakeholders, and institutions. Among those who have decided to set up a booth, we find Alia, Revet, and Estra jointly representing the emerging multiutility, who today organized the panel ‘Genius the 5.0 dumpster: Artificial Intelligence at the Service of the Citizen’. In the pavilion dedicated to the textile district, there is also a booth of Next Technology Tecnotessile, which tomorrow from 12 to 13 will be the focus of the debate on ‘The Role of Textile Hubs in the European Industrial Ecosystem and Innovative Technologies for a Circular and Sustainable Sector’.
This afternoon, the Prato district was the protagonist of the debate ‘The Revolution of the Textile Sector: Introduction to Change and Instructions for Use’. Starting from the question ‘What are the initiatives of industrial districts and how can the companies belonging to them proactively respond to the challenges of sustainability?’, the speakers included Filippo Bernocchi from Ancitel, Francesco Marini from Confindustria Toscana Nord, Nicola Ciolini from Alia, and Andrea Betti from Beste. The discussion was moderated by Elena Ferrero of Atelier Riforma. In the audience participating in the meeting were also Raffaello De Salvo and Fabio Marseo, President and Vice President of the Corertex consortium, Andrea Falchini, Director of Next Technology Tecnotessile, and Rossano Raffaelli, delegated advisor of Lanificio Fratelli Balli.
Prato was also discussed at the panel promoted by the Ecomondo Scientific Technical Committee ‘Accelerating Circular Transformation in the Textile Industry’, where Sergio Tamborini, President of Sistema Moda Italia, and Carlo Capasa, President of the National Chamber of Italian Fashion, showed solidarity with the district affected by the flood, recalling the initiatives to support the companies hit by the wave of water and mud. The debate, moderated by the journalist from Prato, Silvia Gambi, also closely addressed the reuse and recycling activities of Corertex, which participated in the event with its top management.
