06 February 2026 - Last week, Evoralis was delighted to co-host 'From Concept to Circularity – A Panel on Sustainable Innovation in Textiles' in Cambridge, alongside Colorifix and Sparxell, with support from Cambridge Enterprise. The event brought together industry leaders, investors, and innovators to explore one of the most pressing challenges in the textile sector: how to move genuinely circular solutions beyond pilots and into large-scale adoption.
The panel featured Giulio Bonazzi, CEO of Aquafil Group; Sham Sharif Sokker, former Head of the Inditex Innovation Hub; and Lindsay Hooper, CEO of the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). Moderated by Justin Guest of Archipelago Ventures, the discussion examined where progress is being made, where scale still breaks down, and what is needed across the value chain to accelerate meaningful change.
Ahead of the panel, we also heard short presentations from Daniel Kaute (Evoralis), Orr Yarkoni (Colorifix), and Benjamin Droguet (Sparxell), who shared insights into their respective technologies and how each company is contributing to the future of circularity in textiles.
The evening concluded with an engaging networking reception, providing space for continued discussion and connection across the investment and innovation community. We would like to thank all our speakers and guests for contributing to such a thoughtful and energising conversation, and for their shared commitment to driving real progress toward a more circular textile industry.
