Footwear Ecosystem Immersion™ Alicante

The province of Alicante is one of the most important footwear ecosystems in Europe. Factories, product development, materials, sourcing, manufacturing, industrialization, and international brands coexist within the same network that for years has operated almost invisibly to a large part of the industry. Footwear Ecosystem Immersion™ Alicante is designed to experience the footwear process from the inside: to understand how a collection is built, how the product is developed and manufactured, how factories and suppliers work, how brands make decisions, and how creativity, product, industry, and business connect in the real world. Five days, on-site, in Alicante, Elche, and Elda. Understanding the product also means understanding the system that supports it.
