It has become a place for connection and collaboration. In times when designers and sustainable innovators are isolated and we cannot meet as before, it is important that we do not lose this connection.\u00ab<\/p>\n      <p>Simon Angel, Curator of the Sustainable Innovations Forum<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"spacer-block_b4b50520fe830ad176dd2a5cf6a8f326\" class='h-5 lg:h-10 ' data-block-id='spacer-block_b4b50520fe830ad176dd2a5cf6a8f326'><\/section>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"media-block_da91580f9d3ea200b2209651227660cf\" class=\"media-block flex flex-col gap-3\">\n\n  <div class=\"relative w-full overflow-hidden aspect-square md:aspect-video\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1358\" src=\"https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/6170fcfe03116393-w1920.webp\" class=\"absolute inset-0 w-full h-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1024px) 50vw, 100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/6170fcfe03116393-w1920.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/6170fcfe03116393-w1920-872x617.webp 872w, https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/6170fcfe03116393-w1920-600x424.webp 600w\" \/>  <\/div>\n\n  \n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"spacer-block_b4b50520fe830ad176dd2a5cf6a8f326\" class='h-5 lg:h-10 ' data-block-id='spacer-block_b4b50520fe830ad176dd2a5cf6a8f326'><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"richtext-block_2503666b3e07f92f63051055974b7e63\" class=\"richtext\">\n  <p>Even though designers may feel a sense of disconnection as they work alone in their studios, there is still so much exciting progress being made. By inviting designers to join him in conversation, Simon hopes to resolve this paradox and once again create another platform for connection and facilitate an open exchange of unique insights and experiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Together with Simon, we have initiated a new video series we are calling &#8216;Key Conversations&#8217; as an extended platform of the Sustainable Innovations forum.

We can look forward to the same lively and friendly interaction which is key to getting to the heart of the projects which Simon will bring on board here. Our goal is to offer tangible insights which can led to real life applications and collaborations by sharing these conversations with our online community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the goal of these conversations?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Collaboration through conversation is key. By revealing insights and sharing an open dialogue there is an opportunity to connect and broaden the scope of what we believe is possible for designers and brands. We hope readers of this blog and viewers who watch our videos can connect with the projects on a deeper level and jump on the profiles and websites of the designers to learn more. There is always a chance to take part in the conversation by sending an email to Simon Angel or the designers featured.<\/p>\n<p>That is why we actively invite everyone to join the conversation: feel free to send a direct email to Simon or to the designers themselves at any time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What innovations will we hear about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are keen to provide our community with an update from our previous participates of the Sustainable Innovations Forum. Especially, we will hear about the progress and growth of their concepts since joining us at the Keyhouse. As well as this, Simon will speak with innovators in the fields of organic material development, natural dyeing solutions, and the use of natural resources in technology, among many more unique and diverse topics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New videos and interviews will be shared on our social media channels and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.munichfabricstart.com\/en\/blog\/\">Munique Blog<\/a>.
