NexGen CEOs: Who Will Lead the Next Era of Global Textiles?
New Generation. New Ideas. New Technology. New Leadership.
Every generation inherits an industry. The next generation has the opportunity to reinvent it.
Across the global textile and apparel sector, a new generation of CEOs, entrepreneurs, innovators and family-business successors is beginning to assume leadership.
They are taking the helm at a defining moment.
Artificial intelligence, automation, sustainability, digitalization, changing consumer behavior, geopolitical uncertainty and new sourcing models are transforming almost every aspect of how textile and apparel businesses operate.
The leaders who will shape the next decade will therefore require more than the ability to manage established businesses.
They will need the courage to challenge traditional models, embrace technology, attract a new generation of talent, build international partnerships and rethink what a textile and apparel company can become.
NexGen CEOs gives the Summit stage to these emerging leaders. Bringing together next-generation executives, entrepreneurs and innovators from Africa, Europe, North America and the wider global textile community, this forward-looking dialogue will explore their ambitions, challenges and vision for the industry they are preparing to lead.
What will the textile and apparel company of 2035 look like? Where will it manufacture? How will technology transform it? How will the next generation balance profitability, sustainability and purpose? And what will tomorrow's leaders do differently from the generation before them?
Ultimately, this session asks one defining question:
Who will lead the next era of global textiles and apparel - and what kind of industry will they build?
This evolves the original CEO Leaders Dialogue, which looks toward 2035 and focuses on future sourcing hubs, diversification, technology adoption, regional competitiveness and long-term opportunities.
