The textile industry is undergoing a profound transformation – driven by sustainability, circularity, and innovation. Regulatory pressures, evolving consumer demands, and global disruptions are accelerating change, reshaping supply chains, and redefining production.

At the heart of this evolution lies print technology. Advances in automation, digitalisation, and sustainable chemistry are unlocking new possibilities for efficiency, flexibility, and environmental responsibility. Nearshoring, waste reduction, and waterless processes are expanding opportunities for both screen and digital printing.

After careful consideration and in light of the current challenges facing the textile industry, we regret to announce that the Textile Printing & Sustainability (TPS) Conference, originally planned for 2026, will be postponed. ESMA remains committed to fostering connections and collaboration within the textile industry. We will continue to expand our network of textile contacts across Europe and beyond, ensuring that when the time is right, we can deliver a successful and impactful TPS Conference in more favourable market conditions. We appreciate your understanding and support during this period. For updates, please stay connected with ESMA and our official channels.
