Kornit Digital has brought together more than 500 global leaders from across the apparel ecosystem at Konnections 2026 in Hollywood, Florida, reinforcing its push toward scalable, on-demand production. The three-day event features over 20 sessions and comes at a critical moment as the industry increasingly adopts digital technologies to enhance agility and responsiveness.
Now in its third edition, Konnections has evolved into a key global platform where stakeholders align on the future of apparel manufacturing. The event convenes leading fashion and sportswear brands, digital platforms, designers, software providers, fulfilment partners, investors, and media, all focused on transitioning from forecast-driven models to demand-led production.
The industry is currently at an inflection point, with demand becoming more fragmented and increasingly influenced by digital platforms and creator ecosystems. Brands are under pressure to reduce risk, improve margins, and operate more sustainably, while delivering higher-quality products at speed. These shifts are accelerating the adoption of real-time, demand-driven manufacturing models.
At the event, Kornit unveiled Atlas MATRIX, a system designed to enable true on-demand manufacturing across multiple fabric types, including cotton, polyester, and blends, within a single platform. This innovation addresses one of the major barriers to scaling digital production by ensuring consistent, retail-quality output across diverse materials.
Kornit also highlighted its recent acquisition of PrintFactory, whose cloud-based colour and workflow platform enhances production consistency across both digital and analogue environments. The integration supports large-scale producers transitioning to digital manufacturing and strengthens Kornit’s infrastructure connecting demand generation with global fulfilment.
These developments reflect Kornit’s broader strategy of building a fully connected digital ecosystem that links demand, production, and fulfilment. This approach enables brands to scale on-demand manufacturing globally, respond faster to market trends, and significantly reduce inventory risk.
“We are witnessing the gradual decline of traditional production models and the emergence of a new era in apparel manufacturing,” said Ronen Samuel, Chief Executive Officer of Kornit Digital. “Production is increasingly moving closer to demand, enabled by digital infrastructure connecting demand generation, production, and fulfillment. Konnections unifies the leaders shaping this transformation.”
The event brings together a diverse global ecosystem, including participants from the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Keynote speakers include Nick Beighton, Alex Saltonstall, and Daymond John, alongside executives from leading brands and industry innovators.
A key highlight is the Konnections Solutions Showcase, where Kornit is presenting technologies such as Atlas MATRIX, Apollo, and Presto MAX PLUS, along with advancements in materials, automation, and integrated production systems. Partner companies are also showcasing complementary innovations across software, robotics, and production solutions, demonstrating how connected ecosystems enable faster and more efficient manufacturing.
Mr. Samuel concluded, “Konnections 2026 represents a defining moment for an industry increasingly shaped by agility, real-time production, and minimal waste. Konnections unifies the global ecosystem enabling this transformation and demonstrates how the future of apparel production is becoming a reality.”
