Description
DeFINE is a three-year collaborative project co-funded by the European Commission’s COSME programme.
The project aims to support the fusion of cutting-edge technologies with the European fashion and design industries. Over the past three years, DeFINE has developed a network of incubators and accelerators, start-ups, SMEs, and financiers to form a European fashion-technology community where cross-sectoral knowledge can be shared, ideas can grow, and transnational collaboration can be nurtured.
