We’re excited to share that Material Exchange has been selected to participate in the ChangeNOW Exhibition in Paris, happening right now!
Material Exchange is proud to be part of ChangeNOW Summit - one of the world’s leading gatherings for climate solutions and sustainable innovation.
Being here in Paris among global innovators, changemakers, and industry leaders is a powerful opportunity to showcase and advance our mission: to simplify and transform material sourcing for the fashion, footwear, and apparel industries. We are building a digital sourcing ecosystem that connects brands and suppliers more directly, enabling faster discovery, smarter decision-making, and greater transparency across the entire material value chain. By combining technology, data, and deep industry expertise, we help teams reduce complexity, eliminate inefficiencies, and move toward more responsible and sustainable sourcing at scale.
We’re looking forward to engaging in conversations around the future of sustainable materials, digital transformation in sourcing, and how collaboration can accelerate real impact across global supply chains.
If you’re at ChangeNOW, we’d love to connect - come and say hello!
