The Avantex Paris segment will feature around 30 participants in the passage connecting Hall 2 to Hall 3.
This section will focus on new technologies and solutions addressing critical issues in fashion such as circularity, transparency, traceability, sustainability, optimisation, scalability, interactivity, and virtual immersion.
