nova-Institute is launching a new digital format called “nova talks”, a series of online expert discussions focused on the future of cellulose fibres. This strategic shift replaces the annual Cellulose Fibres Conference (CFC) starting in 2026 and aims to deliver faster, more flexible, and more interactive engagement with global industry stakeholders.
According to Asta Partanen, Senior Expert at nova-Institute, the new format enables more responsive and agile dialogue within the cellulose fibre industry. The sessions will cover key topics such as fibre innovation, sustainability, regulation, and market trends. With multiple opportunities for participation—whether as a speaker, expert, or sponsor—nova talks are designed to maintain and expand the institute’s role as a key innovation driver in the fibre and textile sector.
While the highly respected Cellulose Fibres Conference earned global recognition over the years, the move to year-round digital engagement ensures broader access and continuity. The nova talks retain the same high quality, scientific focus, and industry relevance while offering more frequent interaction with leading voices in the field.
Michael Carus, CEO of nova-Institute, emphasizes that this transformation supports the needs of a fast-evolving global cellulose fibres market and thanks all past CFC supporters for their contribution. Sponsorship for the upcoming nova talks provides brands and innovators a unique platform to gain visibility and shape the international discourse on fibre innovation.
