The 93rd Textile Institute World Conference (TIWC 2025) will take place from 7–10 October 2025 at the Porto Palácio Hotel and Spa, bringing together global experts for a four-day event focused on sustainability and innovation in the textile and fashion industries.

Under the theme Fibre to Future – Transforming Fashion and Textiles through Sustainability, the conference will explore how the industry is evolving through sustainable practices and digital transformation. Key sessions will highlight cutting-edge approaches to reducing environmental impact, implementing circular strategies, and integrating zero-carbon solutions from fibre production through to consumer usage and end-of-life processes.

Organised by The Textile Institute and hosted for the first time by Aquitex – a leading Portuguese company specialising in textile chemicals and auxiliaries – TIWC 2025 will offer a unique platform for academics, policymakers and industry professionals to engage in knowledge-sharing and forward-thinking collaboration.

“This year’s event aims to strengthen ties between research and industry,” said Stephanie Dick, CEO of The Textile Institute. “We invite all stakeholders to take part in this important dialogue to help shape a sustainable and digital future for textiles.”

The full conference agenda will be released soon, and the organisers will provide invitation letters for visa applications upon request.
