What makes me particularly confident is the growing awareness and the associated commitment to sustainability, which is not only a result of legal requirements, but above all of a deep sense of responsibility towards our planet. It is inspiring to see how more and more companies - especially start-ups - are taking up the challenge of acting in a resource-conserving manner and at the same time pursuing innovative paths.

 Our pod - Pattern on Demand platform is an example of a solution that addresses precisely this issue. With the possibility of creating individualized made-to-measure fashion in a “fashion on demand” or “mass customization” strategy, we help to avoid overproduction and conserve valuable resources. At the same time, we create the basis for economically sustainable business models.

 This combination of technology, creativity and responsibility generates a momentum that gives us hope: Hope for a textile world that is not only innovative, but also sustainable. Together with our customers, we can help to ensure that fashion is not created at the expense of the environment, but in harmony with it.

 Together, we can turn the year 2025 into a game changer for the textile world in order to treat our wonderful planet with more respect and appreciation and ultimately offer the children of this earth a better starting position. Let's take it one step at a time.
