Connected by textile in platform for knowledge and networking

The textile and fabrics industry has many recurring themes, so the demand for knowledge is vast. The Texpertise Stage, for example, in Hall 4.0, addresses current challenges affecting the global textile industry; the Retail Stage, on the other hand, in Hall 12.1, offers a content program tailored to the retail sector. Circularity and sustainability play a crucial role today. The more than 50 textile fairs in Messe Frankfurt’s global Texpertise network, therefore, feature a series of activities dedicated to sustainability, Econogy. The term Econogy defines the direct link between sustainability and economic success.

Under this program, exhibitors can undergo an audit according to ESG/SDG-compliant standards and obtain a label to be displayed on the booth and online. The Econogy Finder list features selected companies and is a guide for visitors. Moreover, Econogy Talks and interactive Econogy Tours allow visitors to learn about innovative best practices. The Econogy Hub is a meeting point for certifiers.
