The NIHC Global Hemp Fiber Summit convenes leaders from government, finance, industry, and academia to advance the global industrial hemp fiber sector. The Summit integrates policy dialogue, market development, textile innovation, and global trade strategy aligned with New York’s fashion calendar. This years summit will be held at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City.
Programming covers innovations in industrial hemp fiber from seed to final product, featuring innovations from sponsors and exhibitors, physical tours, expert speakers, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities.
"Industrial hemp fiber should play a meaningful role in advancing public well-being—delivering safe, high-quality, and affordable materials for both textile and construction applications. It represents an opportunity to build a more resilient domestic supply chain, support job creation across rural and manufacturing communities, and reinforce American competitiveness. At the same time, hemp fiber production can help drive regenerative agricultural practices that improve soil health, reduce environmental impact, and create long-term value for farmers and the broader economy." Patrick Atagi - President & CEO, NIHC
