SUMMARY:Assessing Fiber Innovations: IVCC at Dornbirn-GFC 2024
DESCRIPTION:From September 11th to 13th\, IVCC attended the 63rd Dornbirn Global Fiber Congress (Dornbirn-GFC 2024) in Dornbirn\, Austria. While not a regular event in our calendar\, this conference was of strategic significance due to its focus on cutting-edge innovations in the fiber and textile industries. The event has established itself over six decades as a key meeting point for industry leaders\, researchers\, and innovators to share knowledge and shape the future of fibers and textiles. \n  \n \nDornbirn-GFC 2024 gathered more than 125 international speakers to present the latest developments in the field. This year’s program highlighted advances in fiber technologies that could reshape the industry\, making it an important occasion for IVCC to explore potential solutions to a critical challenge—reducing the cost of goods associated with the development of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). \nIVCC’s attendance was driven by the need to assess novel fiber designs and material innovations that could enhance ITN development. With rising costs of production\, it is crucial to explore alternatives that might lead to more affordable\, viable solutions for vector control products. IVCC’s ITN pillar team saw this as an opportunity to engage with fiber industry experts\, learn about new technologies\, and explore whether any of these could be applied to overcome formulation and cost challenges in our mission to develop innovative ITN products. \nBy attending the Dornbirn-GFC\, IVCC strengthened its understanding of the evolving fiber landscape and gained insights that could support future product development. The opportunity to network with industry professionals and exchange ideas aligns with our long-term goal of ensuring that lifesaving ITNs remain accessible and affordable. \nThese insights will be invaluable in shaping our strategies and exploring new directions for ITN design that balance innovation with cost efficiency. \nImage: Janneke Snetselaar\, Senior Technical Manager (left) and Danielle Brennan\, Senior Project Manager (right) at the 63rd Dornbirn Fiber Congress in Austria.
