The aim of the Berlin Fashion Summit 202030 is to close the gap between existing sustainability innovations and the industry’s need for pragmatic guidance for a successful transformation towards a more sustainable fashion economy. At The Berlin Fashion Summit 202030, concrete new alliances for existing value chains will be formed and forward-looking solutions for fashion will be presented.

The aim is to design eco and circular systems with positive social, cultural and ecological impacts.
