Innovation in new materials is moving fast – but scaling it takes more than great science. It takes the right mix of brands, manufacturers, investors and supply-chain leaders to move innovation from pilots into procurement.

UKFT and HSBC Innovation Banking are holding an invite-only Textile Innovation Showcase: Accelerating Commercial Adoption of Climate Innovation on 27 April 2026 at an event in Shoreditch, London (2-8pm).

This afternoon brings together the innovators building next-generation textile solutions with the industry leaders responsible for scaling them.

What to expect

• Two focused panels on what it really takes to move from lab breakthrough to commercial adoption – covering manufacturing scale-up, supply-chain integration, brand risk appetite and investment alignment
• Live showcases from companies developing solutions across biomaterials, textile recycling and advanced processing
• High-quality networking with brands, manufacturers, investors and supply-chain leaders shaping the future of textile production

The aim of the event is to connect innovators with decision-makers who can turn pilots into real commercial rollout.
