Enter the Arena – Sponsor the Revolution: nova talks

A new chapter begins: the nova-Institute is launching nova talks – a digital discussion series designed to spotlight key topics in the cellulose fibres sector. In these open online sessions, leading experts will regularly explore and discuss the latest developments, technologies, and challenges – in a faster, more interactive, and more accessible format than ever before. This will follow after many successful years on the renowned Cellulose Fibres Conference (CFC), which will not take place in 2026.

 A Strategic Shift for a Dynamic Industry

The move from an annual hybrid conference to a series of online talks is a deliberate and forward-looking decision.

“The nova talks allow us to respond more swiftly to emerging issues and to maintain an ongoing, agile dialogue within the industry.” Asta Partanen, Senior Expert for cellulose fibres at the nova-Institute and former program manager of the CFC, explains. She adds: “The new format will provide an excellent space for focused conversations with internationally recognized experts – free from time and location constraints. With this step, nova-Institute reinforces its role as a catalyst for innovation in a rapidly evolving field, continuing its mission to drive the sustainable transformation of the international fibres and textiles sector.”

And the best thing about this: there are multiple ways to engage in nova talks. Either as participant, expert or sponsor with several sponsoring options – get in contact with us now, if you want to be part of this brand new talk format on cellulose fibres.

Honoring the Legacy: The Cellulose Fibres Conference

Since its inception, the Cellulose Fibres Conference has established itself as the leading international platform for the cellulose fibres industry. With its international reputation, high-quality presentations, scientific depth, and diverse thematic range – from advanced fibre technologies and circular economy strategies to emerging biosynthetics – the CFC became a landmark annual event for professionals, innovators, and decision-makers alike. The prestigious “Cellulose Fibre Innovation of the Year” award, extensive networking opportunities, and broad digital outreach made the conference a vital driver of progress across research, industry, and policy.

nova talks – A New Chapter Begins

With the introduction of nova talks, the nova-Institute remains committed to providing expert insights, tracking industry trends, and fostering high-level dialogue, but in a format that is more flexible, more exclusive and more focused. The digital, interactive nova talks will be open to interested participants and will explore specific topics in depth, such as cutting-edge fibre innovations, new technologies, regulatory developments, sustainability strategies, and market trends. In contrast to a single conference, which only serves as a meeting point once a year, the nova talks offer the opportunity to reach more stakeholders over the course of the year through the interaction of a variety of successful communication channels that the nova-Institute has established over many years.

A Sincere Thank You – and an Invitation to Stay Involved

“We truly believe that it’s for the sake of the fast and international evolving cellulose fibres market to change the meeting format”, says Michael Carus, CEO of the nova-Institute. “And as we transition to this new format of nova talks, the continued engagement of all partners is still essential and more than welcome.”

In this regard the nova-Institute would like to express its heartfelt thanks to the Advisory Board, sponsors, exhibitors, and many media and association partners who have supported the Cellulose Fibres Conference over the years. Your expertise, trust, and dedication have been instrumental to the event’s success.
