Organised by Brazilian Leather—a partnership between the Centre for the Brazilian Tanning Industry (CICB) and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil)—the forum has established itself as a key platform for discussions around sustainability, innovation and competitiveness in the leather sector. ILM will be in attendance to report on the events.
This year’s focus on AI reflects a growing recognition across the industry that AI is moving rapidly from concept to critical capability. In leather manufacturing, AI-driven tools are increasingly being applied to process control, quality optimisation, data management and waste reduction. These are areas that directly support more sustainable and efficient production models.
