What is Avantex Paris?
Avantex Paris, a trade show providing solutions for a more advanced and sustainable fashion industry, is held once a year in July during the Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris edition.
Since 2015, Avantex Paris brings together the international fashion-tech offer by integrating all the innovations and services that, from upstream to downstream of the industry, allow to accompany the ecological and digital transformation of the fashion actors.
3D design, artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies, big data, miniaturization of complex electronic components, 3D printers, biofabrication, have generated new services and materials. Avantex Paris, which brings together startups and innovative service companies that are committed around key themes such as circular fashion, transparency or virtualization, offers a window on the fashion of tomorrow.
Avantex Paris exhibitors are selected for their ability to provide brands and suppliers with new processes, technologies or materials.
Innovative offers to address specific goals such as: making the fashion industry less polluting and more circular, making the textile and clothing industry more resilient, enhancing transparency, improving product traceability, investing in new virtual spaces in accordance with the evolution of practices and bringing fashion into the metaverse.
