How green is your supply chain? Customers and investors are becoming increasingly sensitive to the environmental impact of supply chains in production, consumption and transport. And companies also realize that things have to change. But where do you start in the production process? Where is the biggest profit, environmentally, and maybe even financially. There is hope…. during this session 4 entrepreneurs present their innovative solution for a more sustainable industry: &Wider, The Fabricant, Excess Materials Exchange and Norman Hangers.

The Fabricant

Kerry is the founder of The Fabricant a digital fashion house leading the fashion industry towards a new sector of digital-only clothing. The digital-only fashion sector will explore new creative avenues, giving free rein to express aspects of the self outside the limits of the physical world.

Our work exists beyond the current concepts of catwalks, photographers, studios and sample sizes. For The Fabricant imagination is our only atelier, and our fashion stories are free from the constraints of the material world.

We work with luxury brands and retailers to create digital fashion experiences, as well as designing our own digital-only fashion collections.

She is a professional methodologist who has been designing systems to gather data at scale on sensitive topics from often hard-to-reach populations, for more than two decades. She has worked in Bosnia, the UK, South Africa, and across 5 countries in the MENA Region during the Arab Spring. Her specialism is designing scalable systems that can trigger trust, build response rates and deliver good data that clearly measures impact, needs and progress. She takes complex realities and finds methods which deliver good data which can be shared simply with practitioners and professionals who need better insight to measure the difference they have made, and to prioritise and act more effectively.

Excess Materials Exchange

With Maayke’s passion for sustainability, sharp intellect and strong will it has come as no surprise to anyone that she has done some amazing things in her short career. Taking her inspiration from nature to reform economic and industrial systems, she developed the idea of the resource passport that has now been made into Dutch and European policy. Singularity University taught her that exponential technologies hold the key in our transition towards a sustainable society and can deliver the necessary tools. Through various companies and projects she has been working on creating a Circular Economy for many years. With the Excess Materials Exchange, she now fully focusses on developing a worldwide inclusive Circular Economy.
