Performance Days 2026

PERFORMANCE DAYS is one of the world’s leading platforms for materials and textile innovations, with a strong focus on sports, fashion, workwear, accessories, and footwear. Since 2008, the biannual trade fair has established itself as a key meeting point for designers, product developers, buyers, and material specialists seeking high-performance fabrics and forward-looking solutions.

In contrast to large and hectic trade shows, PERFORMANCE DAYS offers a curated and focused environment that encourages exchange, orientation, and well-informed decision-making. With its clear commitment to innovation, sustainability, and practical relevance, the fair sets benchmarks for the future of performance materials.

The textile industry is at a turning point: To address the 120 million tons of textile waste generated each year, production and processes are expected to become resource-efficient and circular by 2030. RETRAKT explores how companies can shape this transition in a sustainable, people-centered way across the entire value chain.

At the RETRAKT booth in the Sustainability Lounge, we will present insights from the project and discuss how companies can successfully implement upcoming EU regulations.
