Description
The FASCINATE project aims to support the internationalization of EU textile and fashion SME clusters working for the development of circularity and sustainability in these industries. In addition to the textile and fashion industry, intersectoral collaborations with the technology and footwear sectors will also be sought.
Next March 16th we launch our Opening Conference and a specific Workshop on "new value chains". We invite all companies in the Fashion, Textile, Footwear industry as well as technology providers developing digital solutions, to participate in this event and the specific workshop to find new value chains, and possible future collaborations to activate trade actions towards third countries outside the EU (such as the United States, China, Japan or Latin America).
