Fashion Tech Pitch Night VI

Are you a fashion startup using innovative technologies looking for investment, cross-country expansion and/or support from consultants to scale-up your business? Or are you an investor interested in the fashion industry? Or someone simply interested in entrepreneurship?

Fashion Tech includes anything that either combines 'fashion' in its traditional sense, clothing or accessories or that targets the fashion industry and technology: from wearables to software and everything in between!

Fashion Technology creates contemporary tools for the fashion industry with the aim of improving the way we produce and consume fashion. Modern tools such as the use of AI in fashion design, 3D printers instead of sewing machines, lab-made leather alternatives instead of animal leather, body scanners instead of measuring tape, augmented reality and VR for retail, and much more.

Following the advent of augmented and virtual reality, we see technological infusion in media and fashion advertising. With the help of innovative materials and modern tools, designers create styles and pieces impossible to make with classic tools.
