ISPO Textrends is a unique networking platform for sports professionals searching for true innovations and the latest trends. It is the platform for product managers, designers, and media helps discover the latest fabrics for the sports and outdoor branch.

The participants apply with their most innovative products, which are reviewed by an international jury of experts. The best entries are then chosen and benefit from several sales and promotional services.

Invista’s Cordura brand and DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products have been collaborating to create next generation fabrics that bring sustainable solutions to eco-conscious designers who want to live large, live on the edge, and Live Durable. The series combines high-performance durability and bio-based Susterra propanediol coatings and membranes, inspiring and empowering consumers to embrace a 360-degree durable life while helping to minimise environmental impact.
