In January 2024, CLOTH consortium is releasing a guideline of lessons learned and recommendations to Fashion clusters and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

What are the main challenges of the fashion sector? How can European Union (EU) SMEs face them? These are the questions the CLOTH partnership answered thanks to its results achieved and lessons learned during the last two years of the project implementation.

The CLOTH partnership reviewed its activities implemented during these last two years to draw up recommendations to EU Fashion clusters and SMEs. The consortium pointed out the main challenges of the sector (linked with sustainability and digitalisation) and listed tips for clusters and SMEs to face these challenges.

This document aims at addressing the current sector crisis due to COVID-19 facilitating innovation, networking, and new business opportunities from a cross-sectorial dimension.
