Waves of Change 2023 Forum

Dawn McGregor will be having a roundtable workshop discussion on “Water Positive Fashion – What the Textile Industry does and can do for the Ocean and our Planet” at the Waves of Change Forum. 

The Forum’s third edition: June 5-7 2023 in Biarritz, FR

A maximum of 200 participants representing startups, investors, corporations, NGOs, universities and public sector involved in the environmental transition gather for 3 days of collective intelligence workshops, business dating and productive free time including surf networking, sites and facilities visits, remote working, etc.

The coalition: A different approach
Our approach and answer to the changing context is a not-for-profit coalition: we aim to emulate nature and form symbiotic solutions that optimize interactions and collaborations between the most diverse and complemental stakeholders.

International and diverse by design
Each of our international, online work groups starts with an NGO, a startup, an investor, a researcher and a business from different regions of the globe connecting to address a common challenge. More relevant participants can be added along the way, in order to iterate together with three goals:
1- Come up with a new solution none of them would have been able to develop that quickly on their own;
2- Learn from the process of collaboration as well as by sharing best practices;
3- Get to know other stakeholders’ businesses better and clarify positioning and value proposition accordingly.

Topics include ocean and environment preservation, renewable energies, the fashion industry transition, biomimicry applications, coastal adaptation, green IT, circular economy, new sustainability KPIs, and more.
