We are excited to be attending Fashion Tech Talks in Stockholm next week.

Shaping the Future of the Fashion Industry

As boundaries between fashion and technology companies become increasingly blurred, Fashion Tech Talks focuses on innovation by having open discussions on new algorithms, new materials and new ideas that challenge the existing. Previously, the Stockholm event has had the founder of Unseen Lauren Bowker and Intel’s director of innovation Todd Harple on their stage. This year speakers include Matthew Drinkwater, Martine Jarlgaard, Michael Reidbord and Eddie Mullon.
