When starting your startup in the fashion tech sector, the task sometimes appears to be too challenging. So much competition out there, and you don’t know where to start. Therefore, EBN in partnership with other EBN Members (UEL Knowledge Dock, CEEI BURGOS, Cy.R.I.C and Media Deals) and incubators and fashion institutes is building up a network called DeFINE for fashion tech startups in Europe.

This network offers a mentoring programme for entrepreneurs, pre-startups and startups in the fashion tech sector. The mentoring programme will provide 80 hours of online mentoring support, guide through the innovation process. By the end of the mentoring, businesses should have a prototype or proof of concept of a new product, process or new business model.

Coaching experts will guide you throughout the process. Selected startups will be invited to events where they can meet investors in the fashion tech sector. This is an opportunity to take!

The Second Round is open until 4^th of June 2020
