Where Fashion Meets the Future of Industry
VORN – The Berlin Fashion Hub is hosting the second edition of the Circular Society Summit, a full-day conference taking place on 3 July 2026 as part of Berlin Fashion Week. The summit brings together industry leaders, innovators, policymakers, and changemakers to explore scalable, practical solutions for a circular fashion and textile economy.
The programme opens with a keynote on scaling upcycling to an industrial level by Michael Pfeifer (MOOT), followed by presentations on Berlin’s support landscape, a panel on navigating current fashion regulations, and deep dives into lab-to-production innovation. The afternoon features pitches from the Aladin EU Project, a circular product innovation sprint presentation by SHIFT – The Microfactory, and a closing networking session with drinks.
An exhibition runs throughout the day, showcasing upcycled product innovations by MOOT, prototypes from SHIFT’s circular product innovation sprints, and exhibits from Aladin EU Project Partners including Mitwill Textiles Europe, Centexbel, and BioFibreLoop.
The Circular Society Summit is supported by Berlin Partner and DITF, and co-funded by the European Union through the Aladin project.
