H3i Italy - INNOVATION DET!
The 2026 Conference

Today more than ever, in a context where regulatory developments, sustainability, and technological innovation are reshaping the cleaning sector, dialogue between industry professionals, institutions, and academia will be essential to interpret change and turn it into real opportunities.

This year too, the H3i Italy Conference will present a high value professional programme, designed to provide a clear and in depth look at the key dynamics across the supply chain, combining strategic insights with technical sessions that will be directly applicable to the market.

The programme will address core themes such as the role of sustainability in business strategies, product and process compliance, the evolution of European regulation, and new opportunities linked to formulation innovation. Particular attention will be given to the dialogue between the regulatory approach, research, and industry, with the aim of providing practical tools for those working in the sector.

Significant space will be dedicated to probiotics in cleaning, a fast developing area that raises regulatory, technical, and market questions. Through a dedicated panel, the topic will be explored in its full complexity, from industrial applications to future perspectives for the supply chain.

As in previous editions, the programme will include focused sessions dedicated to specific segments, including Car Care and Pet Care, sectors that are continuously evolving and require solutions with an increasing focus on safety, performance, and sustainability. The growing attention to the pet world, both as a social phenomenon and as a market, will be one of the most topical focuses of the conference.

The second day will be dedicated to updates on the main European regulations, such as REACH, CLP, and the Detergents Regulation, as well as an in depth look at emerging topics such as microplastics and new technologies aimed at innovation and sustainability.

The H3i Italy Conference will therefore confirm itself as a key industry event, an authoritative and practical forum to understand the changes underway and prepare for the future challenges of the cleaning sector.
