Building on the success of Future Fabrics Expo 2026, FFE 2027 (16-17 June) will return to Brussels alongside Textiles Recycling Expo which creates opportunities to connect materials innovation with textile recycling, fostering knowledge sharing, new partnerships and solutions that can help accelerate the transition towards a decarbonised, nature-positive and circular economy. FFE continues to be committed to supporting the industry in moving away from fossil-fuel-based and conventionally farmed materials towards more innovative, diversified fibre portfolios that work within planetary boundaries.
Visitors can expect the full Future Fabrics Expo experience, alongside opportunities to discover more:
- At Future Fabrics Expo you can source from thousands of materials from a global network of exhibitors, alongside curated educational areas, open-source informational content and knowledge sharing – continuing the distinctive sourcing experience that FFE has championed since 2011.
- Future Fabrics Expo will once again take place alongside Textiles Recycling Expo, connecting responsible material sourcing with the latest developments in textile-to-textile recycling, circular solutions and industry collaboration.
- The Innovation Hub, alongside specially curated displays and installations exploring key areas of sustainable materials innovation. These will include dedicated spaces for emerging innovators, home, interiors and lifestyle, footwear, circularity and regenerative agriculture.
- The return of our Seminar Series which feature global thought leaders, experts, and pioneers who explore urgent industry challenges and discuss how showcased materials can drive climate action, regeneration and systems change.
- A platform for emerging and established solutions, highlighting innovations from across the UK and internationally, and connecting pioneering material developments with the wider global fashion and textile industry.
