The Aachen - Dresden - Denkendorf International Textile Conference 2022 is one of the most important textile conferences in Europe. Connecting research and industry, it offers a concentrated exchange on the latest developments in the fields of textile chemistry, finishing and functionalisation, textile machinery, processes and composites.

We are pleased to present the programme for the 5th ADDITIVE MANUFACTURE symposium in the textile industry. The conference will be held on 17 November 2022 at KARL MAYER Holding GmbH & Co. KG in Obertshausen.

The successful 61st Global Fiber Congress in Dornbirn, at which our long-standing Executive Director and Chairman of the Board Prof. Fuchs was honoured with the Life Time Award, was followed by the 35th Hof Nonwovens Days and the Chemnitz Textile Technology Conference. STFI also presented itself at both events with an own stand and presentations on the Institute's projects.

The world's largest fibre innovation congress took place for the 61st time in Dornbirn, Austria. More than 200 different companies and institutes were represented at the congress, well over 500 participants from all over the world attended the event from 14 - 16 September 2022. In addition to fibre innovations, smart and functional surface modifications, the main focus was set on circular economy and sustainability.
