Ignite Lab Webinar: Event Series Briefing

Introduction to Innovate UK KTN’s Ignite Lab: Sustainable Textiles and Circular Systems.

Delegates will hear from leading experts in the field of circular textiles, with the opportunity to ask them questions. There will also be run-throughs of the online collaborative tools which will support delegate engagement throughout the Lab series of events.

During this event, we will discuss the overall plan for the Ignite Labs event series of webinars as well as the informative site visits that will be taking place over the next few months.

We will be joined by a selection of specialist panellists and attendees will have the opportunity to ask the speakers about their work, their understanding of these challenges, and where they think businesses should focus to future-proof their growth.
