The State of Skills: Human Labour in the Digital Age
As digitalisation takes place across the textile & apparel supply chain, staff need to contend with new skills – from understanding big data and facilitated buying and merchandising, 3D design and automation, through to new, more collaborative ways of managing product life cycles.
Catherine Cole, CEO of MOTIF, will discuss the State of Skills Industry Report 2020 and its implications. Catherine will also explore what digitalisation and automation mean for the current workforce and present case studies on how to tackle the apparel industry’s digital skills gap.
Innovate Textile & Apparel (ITA) Asia is a multi-stream event that brings together strategic decision-makers, all with the goal of implementing digitalisation in the textile & apparel industry. Across two days, ITA will host three sessions, each with innovation at its core. These are: Textile 4.0, which explores the principles of Industry 4.0 in textile & apparel manufacturing; Re:Think Materials, focusing on innovations in materials; and Textile Business Futures, looking at digital transformation business strategies.
