Industrial designers and research institutes can already provide many green and innovative solutions. Why are companies not implementing them? Do they even know about them or is it just too expensive?

The primary goal of this event at the Museum of Architecture and Design, Fužine Castle, Ljubljana, Slovenia,on 23 January 2024 is to bridge the gap between innovation and industry by fostering collaborative partnerships among designers, research institutions, and companies through the presentation of good practices, B2B matchmaking and the exhibition of sustainable materials and solutions, thus facilitating the practical application of these solutions, not only within laboratories or studios, but also in real-world scenarios.

The event will mainly focus on the eco-design of secondary materials.
