Heritage and Innovation event – Transforming Company Archive into Strategic Value

Registration are now open for Heritage & Innovation, an exclusive hybrid session organized by the Lifestyle Tech Competence Center (LTCC) on 7 May 2026. Dedicated to brand leaders, CEO, archive managers, digital directors and e-commerce teams, the event will present a proven, industrial-grade methodology to digitize brand heritage – from archive pieces to current collections – and transform them into structured, search-ready digital assets for design, marketing and e-commerce.

 

How can fashion, lifestyle and luxury brands turn their physical products and history into high-value strategic digital assets?

Hosted at LTCC’s Content Innovation Lab in Lugano, the session will demonstrate how brands can leverage in-house technology and expertise to build scalable digital archives without outsourcing core capabilities. Developed and deployed by LTCC in collaboration with its member Hyphen, the Laboratory is already fully operational with trained staff and ready to support member brands in end-to-end digitization and heritage innovation projects.

Why attend

This session is designed for brand leaders, archive managers, digital directors and e-commerce teams who want to:

  • Preserve and valorize brand heritage – transform physical archive pieces into a structured, searchable digital collection.

  • Accelerate content production – generate high-resolution, multi-angle assets ready for e-commerce, lookbooks, campaigns and interactive catalogs.

  • Optimize workflows – reduce time and cost in content creation for design and marketing teams through standardized processes and advanced search.

  • Future-proof assets – create AI-ready, metadata-rich digital content that can power next-generation tools (virtual try-on, generative AI, 3D visualization).
