A conference for brands and companies ready to rethink growth in a world where products are meant to last.
Care & Repair Day gathers designers, producers, brands and retailers from across Europe to challenge how care, repair and reuse can evolve from cost centers into competitive advantages.
As the EU’s Right to Repair directive accelerates the shift, the conference explores what it truly takes to turn regulation into opportunity—and make longevity a viable business model.
