Footwear Innovation Day 2025
Following the success of the first edition, which brought together over 250 participants from all over the world, FTWDAY 2025 (Footwear Innovation Day) has quickly established itself as one of the most forward-thinking forums for footwear design, engineering, and production.
Organized by Design&Develop, the Footwear Innovation Day is where industry leaders, designers, engineers, and innovators meet to exchange ideas, explore new technologies, and discuss the future of footwear.
The 2025 edition will be structured around four key topics shaping the industry today:
📌 Innovation in fabrication: technologies accelerating time to market today and transforming the factories of tomorrow.
📌 Product end-of-life: design thinking for sustainability and circularity, reimagining what happens to footwear after use.
📌 Digital transformation: making sense of the growing ecosystem of digital tools, with real use cases that prove their impact.
📌 Design for purpose: insights from experts designing footwear for the most demanding and complex use cases.
With cutting-edge talks, hands-on showcases, actionable takeaways, and networking opportunities, FTWDAY 2025 is more than a conference: it’s a platform for meaningful discussion and practical takeaways that participants can apply directly to their work.
Seats are limited, and the event is live only (no online version).
