DeFINE events are hosted across Europe with a distinctive purpose; get involved in an Info Day for insight into the fashion-tech industry. Sit down with fashion, technology and investment leaders to hear about the opportunities in the emerging fashion-tech scene.

Apply to attend a Bootcamp aimed at start-ups and SMEs to vet their business ideas and Investment Readiness Programme to learn more about creative entrepreneurship, business planning and innovating products, processes and market approaches followed by applying to the Mentoring Programmes to help start-ups and SMEs turn business ideas to reality.

Throughout all the events, get networking and build connections with peers and seek unique opportunities across Europe particularly at the Annual Networking Events held once a year. Share ideas, experiences and news – so join the fun.

Once you’re ready to take your idea to the next level and develop a prototype or proof of concept, apply for our two Mentoring Programmes which will be running 2019-20 and again in 2020-21. You’ll receive bespoke mentoring support to guide you through the innovation process, specialist advice and access to facilities. You will also receive dedicated investment readiness support, and the opportunity to pitch at an Investment Forum to receive feedback from a panel of financiers.
