The Prada Group starts a three-year collaboration with Startupbootcamp - the largest European network of multi-corporate backed accelerators helping startups scale internationally – as Supporting Partner, for the launch of a global innovation center in Milan dedicated to the fashion industry. The initiative, entitled Fashion Tech, will involve the selection and support of the 30 best innovative startups – ten per year – offering advanced technological solutions that address market challenges. The Prada Group will be particularly interested in startups that create innovative solutions in marketing, retail, and value chain.
“Innovation means radical thinking: as part of this programme, Prada will truly immerse itself in an inspiring creative process, drawing on new ideas and connections”.
Lorenzo Bertelli
FASHION TECH SELECTION DAY
On 16th November 2020, a group of international start-ups selected by the StartupBootcamp team attended the second edition of the Fashion Tech Selection Day, which was held digitally this year. It was an opportunity for the professionals involved to talk with representatives of the fashion sector and in particular with the partners of the initiative – including Prada – as well as with mentors, potential investors and an international network of academic and private disruptors. There are 13 start-ups selected for the 2020-21 program which showcased innovative solutions for the most topical challenges: Industry 4.0, omnichannel and sustainability.
