SHENZHEN, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 April 2026 – OPPO officially announced the launch of the OPPO Photography Awards 2026 today, marking the return of the annual competition that provides a global stage for mobile photographers to showcase diverse perspectives through visual storytelling. 

Building on last year’s theme “Super Every Moment”, this year’s edition introduces a brand-new Super Video category alongside expanded support programs offering creators more visibility and professional support. This year’s competition also includes a total prize pool of $76,500 distributed across the various prize categories. 

“Over the past four years, the OPPO Photography Awards has evolved into a truly global platform that empowers mobile creators everywhere to express their inspiration effortlessly through OPPO’s powerful imaging capabilities,” said Ling Liu, Overseas CMO at OPPO. “Championing young creators has always been central to the Awards, and this year, we are taking this further by creating more opportunities for the next generation to be seen, supported, and recognized. Smartphone users have always embraced video as a powerful tool for mobile storytelling, and through our advanced imaging technologies and long-term partnership with Hasselblad, we hope to empower more creators worldwide to tell rich and authentic stories with their mobile devices.” 

New Categories Celebrate New Possibilities in Mobile Imaging
 

The OPPO Photography Awards 2026 introduces two new categories—Super Video and Super Zoom—as part of an updated six-category lineup that also includes Journey, Me, Live, and Snap. 

Marking the first dedicated video category in OPPO Photography Awards history, the Super Video category aims to highlight the growing influence of video alongside photography as a distinct medium for mobile storytelling. With life’s meaningful moments taking place not only in static frames but the dynamic motion and emotions that unfold between them, OPPO is empowering storytellers from all walks of life to capture this motion through the latest innovations in mobile videography. Building on its longstanding focus on video, OPPO continues to deliver industry-leading capabilities across its product portfolio, enabling both enthusiasts and professionals to fully embrace the fun of creation. 

Beyond offering cutting-edge technology, OPPO is equally committed to enhancing how these creations are shared. OPPO and Meta are closely collaborating to optimize the video-sharing experience on Instagram. OPPO Find X9 Ultra users can now achieve near-lossless video quality from capture to share. Videos shared on Instagram will retain quality virtually indistinguishable from the original footage, achieving the industry’s highest standards and ensuring that every shared moment remains true to the original creation. This reflects OPPO’s continued focus on optimizing the entire creative lifecycle for a truly seamless user experience. 

This year’s other new category, Super Zoom, seeks to explore the creative potential made possible through OPPO’s long-term investment in advanced telescope zoom technology. By pushing the boundaries of mobile imaging, OPPO has brought smartphone zoom capabilities closer than ever to those of traditional standalone cameras, allowing users to capture unseen details with precision and explore life’s hidden beauty from completely new perspectives. 

Committed to Supporting Young Creators
 

OPPO is committed to supporting young creative talents and amplifying their voices globally. Through the 2026 Awards, this commitment is taken even further with several new programs designed to empower creators’ long-term growth through professional guidance and coaching. 

In partnership with Discovery Channel, OPPO has launched
the Filmmaker Accelerator Program
, offering young creators exclusive mentorship from industry professionals. Creators who submit videos to the Super Video category will have the chance to be invited to produce a short film with end-to-end creative support and potential broadcast opportunities, alongside a grant provided by OPPO.

Eccellenza Reverendissima,
mi permetto di rivolgermi a Lei con rispetto e senso delle istituzioni in un momento particolarmente delicato per la città di Prato.
La nostra comunità attraversa una fase complessa, segnata da un commissariamento che ha profondamente colpito la fiducia dei cittadini nelle istituzioni, e da vicende che impongono a tutti noi – ciascuno nel proprio ruolo – una riflessione seria sul valore dell’etica pubblica, della responsabilità e del bene comune.
È proprio in questo contesto che desidero richiamare l’importanza del ruolo che la Chiesa ha sempre svolto nella vita sociale del nostro Paese e della nostra città.
Un ruolo fondamentale, radicato nella capacità di orientare le coscienze, promuovere la dignità della persona e contribuire alla costruzione di una comunità più giusta.
La dottrina sociale della Chiesa ci ricorda che la politica, quando vissuta come servizio, è una delle forme più alte di carità.
“La politica è una forma esigente di carità” è un pilastro del magistero sociale della Chiesa cattolica, come spesso citava Giovanni Paolo II (ancora oggi, per la mia generazione, un punto di riferimento), perché è attraverso di essa che si realizza concretamente il bene comune. E sempre dalla Dottrina sociale, “I fedeli laici non possono rinunciare alla partecipazione alla politica, ma devono viverla con coerenza e responsabilità”.
Proprio per questo, credo sia oggi più che mai necessario custodire con attenzione l’equilibrio tra l’impegno dei cattolici nella vita pubblica – che considero prezioso e irrinunciabile – e il ruolo delle istituzioni ecclesiali, che devono poter rimanere punto di riferimento per tutti, al di sopra delle dinamiche della competizione politica. La scelta di alcune figure provenienti dalla realtà ecclesiale di impegnarsi direttamente in uno schieramento politico è, naturalmente, legittima sul piano personale.
Tuttavia, essa apre una riflessione più ampia sul rischio che si possa generare confusione tra piani che, proprio per il bene della comunità, dovrebbero rimanere distinti.
Vengo da una tradizione, quella della destra sociale, che ha sempre riconosciuto nella dottrina sociale della Chiesa un riferimento alto, senza mai confondere o sovrapporre i ruoli. Un equilibrio che ritengo oggi ancora più necessario, in una fase in cui la città ha bisogno di ritrovare fiducia, credibilità e unità.
Eccellenza, sono convinto che la Sua guida possa rappresentare un punto fermo in questo momento, contribuendo a preservare quella dimensione di equilibrio e di autorevolezza che la comunità pratese riconosce nella Chiesa.
Con questo spirito, Le rivolgo un invito al dialogo e alla riflessione, certo che, nel rispetto dei reciproci ruoli, tutti possiamo lavorare per il bene autentico della nostra città.

Con stima,
Gianluca Banchelli

L’intesa, firmata dalla Presidente dell’Ordine degli Architetti, Federica Fiaschi, e dalla Presidente della Fondazione PIN, Daniela Toccafondi, sancisce l’avvio di una sinergia strategica della durata di quattro anni. La collaborazione punta a unire le competenze dei laboratori di ricerca di Fondazione PIN – in particolare il centro di ricerca ARCO (Action-Research for CO-development) e CIRCULAB (Laboratorio di Economia Circolare) – con l’esperienza tecnica e territoriale degli architetti pratesi. “Questo accordo nasce da un’esperienza concreta che ci ha permesso di lavorare fianco a fianco con il PIN e di capire quanto le nostre competenze si completino. Come Ordine degli Architetti, – dichiara Federica Fiaschi – abbiamo l’obiettivo di creare opportunità per i nostri iscritti favorendo il loro coinvolgimento in percorsi di ricerca, bandi e iniziative che abbiano un impatto concreto sul territorio. La collaborazione con la Fondazione PIN ci permette di costruire e consolidare un legame solido tra ricerca e pratica, sviluppando progetti concreti sui temi della sostenibilità, dell’economia circolare e della rigenerazione urbana – anche grazie alla partecipazione attiva del nostro ordine nei bandi di finanziamenti europei su questi temi”. Prato, storicamente all’avanguardia nell’economia circolare tessile, trova in questa partnership il volano per applicare i principi dell’economia circolare anche all’ambiente costruito.

Ecco, in dettaglio, ciò che prevede l’accordo:

Supporto alle politiche territoriali con l’elaborazione di studi di fattibilità e linee guida a supporto delle amministrazioni locali nei processi di pianificazione dello sviluppo territoriale.
Ricerca di finanziamenti e collaborazione nella partecipazione a bandi locali, nazionali e internazionali, con particolare attenzione all’economia circolare applicata al territorio e a specifici interventi di riqualificazione e rigenerazione urbana. Ulteriore interesse sarà per collaborazione in progetti di cooperazione internazionale.
Divulgazione scientifica tramite l’organizzazione di seminari, convegni e workshop per promuovere lo scambio di metodologie tra il mondo della ricerca e quello dei professionisti, aperti a tutta la cittadinanza.
L’accordo è stato presentato oggi, presso la sede dell’Ordine degli Architetti in Via Pugliesi, a Prato. Erano presenti: per l’Ordine degli Architetti, Federica Fiaschi (Presidente), Massimo Fabbri (Vicepresidente) e Luca Erbaggio (Vicepresidente); Per la Fondazione PIN, Daniela Toccafondi (Presidente), Leonardo Borsacchi e Gabriele Feligioni (ARCO – Action-Research for CO-development – e CIRCULAB – Laboratorio di Economia Circolare).

“Per la Fondazione PIN, – dichiara Daniela Toccafondi – l’accordo rappresenta un passo avanti nella missione di valorizzazione dei risultati della ricerca, PIN opera per creare reti tra università, enti e sistema produttivo. Collaborare con l’Ordine degli Architetti significa tradurre concretamente i principi dell’economia circolare e della sostenibilità in progetti strategici per il territorio e sviluppo locale”.

A livello internazionale, Fondazione PIN e Ordine degli Architetti di Prato collaborano già insieme nel progetto “Next Generation Cuba”, finanziato dalla Cooperazione Italiana AICS che vede come capofila il Comune di Prato e come partner italiani ARCS Culture Solidali, ARCI Toscana e ANCI Toscana. Il progetto intende applicare soluzioni sostenibili nel Municipio dell’Avana Vecchia con lo scopo di aumentare i livelli di resilienza, migliorare l’offerta di servizi eco-sistemici, ridurre l’impatto del processo di rigenerazione del centro storico e garantire una partecipazione della cittadinanza alla gestione sostenibile del territorio. L’accordo non è un sistema chiuso: le parti hanno espresso il comune interesse a valutare l’inclusione di soggetti terzi, come imprese e altri centri di ricerca, che vogliano investire nello sviluppo delle tematiche oggetto dell’intesa.

Next-generation, AI-powered Randomization and Trial Supply Management system—designed to get studies to first-patient-in significantly faster  

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Getting a clinical trial from contract to go-live can take months. For sponsors working to deliver therapies to patients who need them, the startup window is one of the most persistent drags on timelines—and one of the hardest to compress.  

Today, Suvoda, a global clinical trial technology company and a recognized leader in the RTSM space, announced agentic RTSM: the next evolution of Suvoda IRT that uses agentic AI to take a study from project kickoff to User Acceptance Testing (UAT) in as little as two weeks. 

Agentic RTSM is part of a broader AI strategy that, together with Suvoda’s AI assistant Sofia, delivers three outcomes for sponsors and study teams: 

In Suvoda RTSM, multiple AI agents accelerate distinct phases of the study build—including software configuration, customization, and testing—and speed up change orders. Because agentic RTSM is built on the patented Suvoda Platform, it leverages the Virtual Partition architecture and the code generation capabilities of the platform’s low-code/no-code tools, rather than rebuilding from scratch for each build. It also drives rapid agentic setup through access to a shared data layer with comprehensive data on trial configurations that have been refined through Suvoda’s experience with thousands of complex trials. This approach allows Suvoda’s team to focus where it matters most: delivering expert consulting and calm guidance at every stage of the trial. 

“Clinical trials are only becoming more complex and more urgent, and our customers shouldn’t have to deal with technology that slows them down,” said Jagath Wanninayake, CEO, Suvoda. “With agentic RTSM, we’re using AI to remove friction from trial startup—so sponsors can begin enrolling patients sooner, sites get a smarter and more responsive experience, and study teams spend less time on administrative tasks and more time on the work that matters.” 

Suvoda is currently working with a select group of early adopters to deploy agentic RTSM capabilities, solidifying the operational and services foundation to support broader rollout. Suvoda is also enhancing Sofia, its AI assistant, to support monitoring, provide alerts, and take direct actions with appropriate safeguards to support the study process. The company plans to extend the agentic model to eCOA and its financial services products, bringing the same startup speed and consistency to questionnaire-based studies, to participant travel, and to patient and site payments. 

“Our goal is to make every moment in a trial smarter—whether we’re building a complex RTSM system for a study, responding to a protocol amendment, or helping a site coordinator get the right answer in seconds,” said E.K. Koh, Chief Product Officer, Suvoda. “Agentic RTSM is one of the first steps in a broader AI vision. Speed, quality, and experience don’t have to be trade-offs—they can all move forward together.” 

At the heart of Suvoda RTSM is a commitment to the people it serves: the sponsors testing new treatments, the sites running trials, and ultimately the patients waiting for therapies. Faster startup isn’t just an operational metric—it’s a step toward getting medicines to the people who need them sooner. 

ABOUT SUVODA

L’iniziativa si inserisce nel percorso di rafforzamento delle politiche regionali sul tema, anche alla luce della recente riattivazione del Comitato regionale di coordinamento sulla violenza di genere, organismo strategico previsto dalla normativa toscana per promuovere azioni integrate di prevenzione, contrasto e sostegno alle vittime.

“Ripartire dal confronto diretto con i centri antiviolenza – dichiara l’assessora Manetti – significa riconoscere il valore fondamentale del lavoro che ogni giorno viene svolto sui territori. La recente riattivazione del Comitato regionale rappresenta un passo importante per rafforzare una collaborazione concreta e continua tra tutte le realtà coinvolte. Solo lavorando in rete, con uno spirito di squadra autentico, possiamo affrontare in modo efficace la violenza contro le donne e costruire risposte sempre più incisive. È da qui che possiamo davvero fare la differenza”.

Il tour proseguirà nelle prossime settimane coinvolgendo altri centri della Toscana, con l’obiettivo di consolidare una rete sempre più efficace e capillare a supporto delle donne vittime di violenza.

MOTIV BTK randomized trial met primary efficacy endpoint, with early and sustained clinical benefit in a complex patient population 

SAN DIEGO, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — REVA Medical, LLC today announced primary endpoint results from the MOTIV BTK randomized pivotal clinical trial evaluating the MOTIV® sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold in patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). The results were presented today at the Charing Cross International Symposium in London, UK. 

The MOTIV BTK trial met both its primary safety and efficacy endpoints, demonstrating that the MOTIV scaffold provides a statistically significant improvement in clinical outcomes compared to the current standard of care, balloon angioplasty. 

Results of the one-year MOTIV BTK clinical trial showed: 

The trial enrolled a complex CLTI population, including a high proportion of Rutherford 5 patients and challenging lesion characteristics representative of real-world disease. 

“Patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia have limited treatment options and face a high risk of limb loss and mortality,” said Ehrin Armstrong, MD, MSc, Interventional Cardiology and Vascular Intervention HCA HealthOne Swedish Medical Center, Denver, Colorado and Principal Investigator of the MOTIV BTK trial. “The MOTIV data demonstrate a meaningful and statistically significant improvement over balloon angioplasty, particularly in a complex patient population.” 

CLTI is the most severe form of peripheral artery disease, affecting millions of patients worldwide and often leading to severe pain, non-healing wounds, and amputation. Balloon angioplasty remains a primary treatment option in the U.S., but long-term vessel patency remains a significant challenge. The MOTIV bioresorbable scaffold is designed to open blocked arteries, support the vessel during healing, and then gradually be reabsorbed by the body, restoring the vessel without leaving a permanent implant. 

In addition, the MOTIV scaffold is designed with full radiopacity, enabling physicians to directly visualize the scaffold during implantation and optimize placement in complex below-the-knee anatomy. 

“The MOTIV trial results represent a significant advancement for patients in the treatment of below-the-knee disease,” said Jeffrey Anderson, President and Chief Executive Officer of REVA Medical. “The magnitude of benefit observed, along with early and sustained clinical improvement, reinforces the potential of bioresorbable scaffold technology to address a critical unmet need in this high-risk patient population.” 

The MOTIV BTK trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the MOTIV scaffold compared to balloon angioplasty in patients with infrapopliteal arterial disease. 

CAUTION: Investigational device. Limited by Federal (U.S.) law to investigational use only.

Becoming part of Woolpert gives our team access to a broader platform and a global network that will allow us to take on more ambitious projects and continue investing in the talent and culture that define who we are.” 

Woolpert President and CEO Neil Churman said the addition of the UMC team brings local insight, technical depth, and hands‑on delivery experience that will strengthen Woolpert’s integrated service offering throughout the region. 

“We’re excited to welcome UMC’s talented professionals to Woolpert and continue building our team in the U.K.,” said Churman. “This is more than an acquisition — it’s a partnership built on shared values, complementary strengths, and a common focus on delivering exceptional results for our clients as they navigate an increasingly complex built environment. UMC exemplifies our commitment to growth, job creation, and community stewardship across the U.K. and throughout the world.”

NORDERSTEDT and BABENHAUSEN, Germany, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — tesa, an international manufacturer of innovative adhesive tapes and self-adhesive product solutions, and technology company AUMOVIO, a spin-off of Continental’s Automotive business unit, will work more closely together going forward. Together, the partners are introducing a new solution for the mechanical integration of automotive displays. 

In automotive display manufacturing, adhesive solutions are the primary technology used to meet growing demand for sleek and ultra-thin frames. In cooperation with AUMOVIO, tesa is now taking the next step. The new solution combines state-of-the-art bonding technology with optimized material usage and pioneering concepts – enabling a controlled, detachable adhesive bond that simplifies corrections during production and repairs throughout the entire product life cycle. 

Precision meets durable, selectively detachable adhesive bonding 

The new process uses an adhesive tape applied robotically. The bond is instantly load-bearing and can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. At the same time, it can be detached as required, allowing display assemblies to be selectively replaced or reworked during production or service – without having to replace the entire display module. 

“This partnership demonstrates how innovative materials technology is advancing the mobility of tomorrow. Together with AUMOVIO, we offer automated adhesive bonds that not only provide long-term durability but can also be deliberately debonded – enabling efficient production, longer product life cycles, and circular product concepts. This helps our customers translate their sustainability goals into tangible product solutions,” says David Caro, Head of Automotive at tesa. 

Pavel Prouza, Head of the User Experience business area (UX) of AUMOVIO, explains, “The combination of highly precise, automated application and targeted detachability adds an important element to our manufacturing and quality processes. It strengthens the robustness of our production, reduces material waste, and promotes efficient use of valuable components. For the end customer, this could even mean that future repairs may require replacing only the affected individual components in a cost-effective way.” 

More sustainable display solution: securely bonded but still detachable 

The new system is a significant step toward the future, combining the proven advantages of viscoelastic adhesive bonds with properties that support circularity. The bond requires no curing time and reliably compensates for material expansion across the full temperature range typically encountered in automotive environments. Thanks to its fully automated application, it can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. With a tape width of only 2 mm, it enables exceptionally narrow display bezels similar to those seen in smartphones. 

At the same time, the bond can be detached as required. Display assemblies can be selectively replaced or reworked during production or service without replacing the entire display module. 

tesa and AUMOVIO use adhesive tapes featuring Debonding on Demand technology, which allows the bond to be selectively detached with little effort. 

This facilitates the replacement of individual display units during the product’s life cycle as well as recycling at the end of the vehicle’s service life. AUMOVIO is already in discussions with automotive manufacturers on the implementation of recycling and repair programs for selected components. The solution supports the circular economy, making a tangible contribution to AUMOVIO’s sustainability strategy by creating long-term economic, social, and environmental value through innovative mobility solutions. 

With the official launch of the partnership, tesa and AUMOVIO are now preparing integration of this new solution into volume production for the second quarter of 2026. 

About tesa SEAs a multinational company, tesa has been developing innovative adhesive tapes and self-adhesive product solutions for various industries, commercial customers, and end consumers for more than 125 years. There are already more than 7,000 tesa adhesive solutions that help improve the work, products or lives of our customers. Today, the focus is on sustainability and energy-saving processes. tesa invests in the development of environmentally friendly products and solvent-free manufacture processes as well as in the use of renewable energy sources at its locations. tesa is active in 100 countries and operates plants in Germany, Italy, China, the USA, and in Vietnam.

All’assemblea hanno partecipato, oltre ai soci di Confesercenti Prato, le principali autorità civili e politiche del territorio. Presente anche Nico Gronchi, presidente nazionale di Confesercenti, che nel suo intervento si è congratulato con Stefano Bonfanti per la rielezione, soffermandosi anche sul momento particolarmente complesso che sta attraversando il commercio in Italia, tra aumento dei costi energetici e contrazione dei consumi interni, legati alla difficile situazione internazionale.

L’elezione all’unanimità rappresenta un segnale forte di fiducia e unità attorno alla figura di Bonfanti, chiamato a guidare l’associazione in una fase caratterizzata da sfide importanti ma anche da nuove opportunità per il tessuto economico locale.

Nel suo intervento programmatico, il neopresidente ha delineato con chiarezza alcune delle priorità che Confesercenti Prato porterà al centro del confronto con i candidati a sindaco nelle prossime elezioni amministrative. Tra i temi principali, Bonfanti ha indicato la necessità di una concreta rigenerazione urbana e del rilancio del commercio di prossimità, con particolare attenzione al centro storico e ai quartieri, insieme a interventi efficaci per rafforzare la sicurezza urbana e contrastare degrado e abusivismo.

Al centro delle richieste anche il miglioramento dell’accessibilità cittadina, con politiche su mobilità, parcheggi e trasporto pubblico in grado di sostenere le attività economiche, così come una revisione della fiscalità locale che renda più sostenibili gli investimenti delle imprese. Ampio spazio è stato dedicato al sostegno al turismo e alla valorizzazione del territorio, attraverso strategie integrate capaci di mettere in rete commercio, cultura ed eventi.

Bonfanti ha inoltre richiamato l’importanza di tutelare e valorizzare i mercati su area pubblica, di investire su formazione e politiche del lavoro per rafforzare l’occupazione qualificata e di migliorare il decoro urbano, elemento determinante per l’attrattività della città. Tra gli altri punti evidenziati, la necessità di garantire un equilibrio tra grande distribuzione e commercio locale e di promuovere una programmazione strutturata di eventi e iniziative di animazione urbana.

“Il nostro obiettivo – ha sottolineato Bonfanti – è contribuire a costruire una città più viva, sicura e attrattiva, nella quale le imprese possano crescere e continuare a rappresentare un elemento fondamentale del tessuto economico e sociale”.

Il direttore della Confesercenti Prato Ascanio Marradi nel suo intervento ha augurato buon lavoro al presidente Bonfanti, nella convinzione che il nuovo mandato saprà consolidare e sviluppare ulteriormente l’azione dell’associazione a tutela delle imprese associate.

Sono stati tanti gli aneddoti raccontati dai tre relatori: l’avvocato Alberto Magnolfi, il professor Filippo Coralli e il professor Mario Battiato Musmeci, che hanno avuto il compito di illustrare le figure dei tre Ppesidenti della Repubblica nell’ambito del terzo convegno organizzato dall’Unione Insigniti della Repubblica Italiana, delegazione di Prato che ha programmato quattro incontri per celebrare Gli 80 anni della Repubblica italiana attraverso la storia e le figure dei suoi presidenti. L’evento che gode del patrocinio della Provincia di Prato e della Regione Toscana si è svolto nel Salone consiliare della Provincia e fra gli ospiti ha visto la partecipazione della dottoressa Lina Iervasi, presidente dell’Associazione nazionale polizia di Stato e volontari odv Anps, Pietro Balice, presidente dell’Associazione nazionale Finanza con segretario Demetrio Scarfò, di Marco Tofani dell’Associazione Italia-Israele, di Claudio Lo Bue, presidente dell’Associazione nazionale carabinieri sezione di Prato, di Pietro Garofalo comandante della Croce Rossa della Toscana.

Ai presenti è arrivato anche il saluto del presidente della Provincia, Simone Calamai che all’ultimo momento non ha potuto partecipare di persona per un imprevisto.
Ma non si è parlato solo dei presidenti della Repubblica, a fine incontro, il delegato della Toscana e di Prato dell’Uir Ordine al merito della Repubblica Italiana, il cavaliere dottor Pasquale Petrella, ha consegnato un attestato di merito all’associazione Riciclidea Prato “per aver restituito decoro e bellezza a spazi urbani dimenticati, con spirito di cittadinanza attiva e generoso impegno volontario”. A ritirarlo sono intervenuti il presidente Alessandro Scuotto con due associate, Silvia Bogani e Mary Trapani che ha messo in collegamento l’associazione anche con il gruppo dei Giacchetti Gialli che Amano Prato con i quali ha partecipato a iniziative anti degrado.

New York (28 e 29 gennaio), Parigi (3 e 4 febbraio) ed Istanbul (31 marzo e 1 aprile) hanno confermato la loro importanza per fidelizzare relazioni già esistenti e creare ulteriori connessioni commerciali.

“Siamo soddisfatti di questa edizione dei Trade Shows: non solo il numero di filature che hanno aderito ci hanno confermato il valore riconosciuto a questa iniziativa, ma anche la scelta di modificare una tappa nel calendario usuale si è dimostrata buona. Hangzhou, organizzata in collaborazione con Ice, ha sostituito la due giorni a Shenzhen e ha rappresentato un momento di grande visibilità per il tour, come confermano i numeri. Gli oltre 400 visitatori – ha commentato Leonardo Mannelli, Presidente del Consorzio Promozione Filati – sono un segno evidente dell’attenzione riservata dai paesi asiatici alle produzioni italiane, la cui eccellenza è stata sottolineata anche durante la presentazione a Tokyo il 15 e 16 aprile”.

Nel corso del workshop svoltosi nella capitale giapponese, in contemporanea con la Giornata nazionale del made in Italy (15 aprile), a dare ulteriore lustro alla qualità dei filati italiani, ha contribuito anche la presenza dell’Ambasciatore italiano a Tokyo e del Direttore di Ice Tokyo che hanno inaugurato l’evento. La loro partecipazione ha rappresentato un sigillo istituzionale significativo per i presenti, divenuti emblemi della creatività e dell’eccellenza tricolori.

“La nascita di nuove opportunità di business – concludono da Feel The Yarn® – è solo uno degli obiettivi che i nostri Trade Show si propongono. Negli ultimi trent’anni, con queste iniziative, abbiamo infatti lavorato attivamente per valorizzare le collezioni di filati stagionali delle nostre filature, mettendo l’accento sul “made in Italy” così da favorire la creazione di nuove partnership di sviluppo prodotto e collaborazioni nel segno della creatività”.

Forte di queste premesse, Feel The Yarn si proietta ora nell’organizzazione dei Trade Show che presenteranno la collezione FW 27.28. Già definite le tappe dello yarn tour che prenderà il via a giugno da Copenhagen, per poi proseguire a luglio a Parigi e New York, a settembre a Istanbul e Hangzhou, per poi chiudersi ad ottobre a Tokyo e Seoul.
