FTalliance

Fashion Tech Alliance (FTalliance) is a a three-year (2020–2022) Knowledge Alliance Project co-founded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union and aimed at facilitating the exchange and flow of knowledge within the Fashion-Tech sector to boost students’ employability and innovation potential. The established alliance comprises partners from 6 Programme Countries : 12 full partners among which are Higher Education Institutions (Politecnico di Milano, ESTIA École Supérieure Des Technologies Industrielles Avancées, Högskolan i Borås, University of the Arts London - London College of Fashion, Technische Universiteit Delft); research organisations (Centexbel) and small, medium and big enterprises (Decathlon International, Grado Zero Innovation s.r.l., Pauline van Dongen, Pespow s.p.a., Stentle (M-Cube Group), We Love You Communication). The Consortium is also supported by PVH Europe as associate partner. The purpose of the Project is to ensure the ongoing innovation in the European Fashion-Tech sector by providing emerging talents with relevant competencies and know-how to enter the jobs market. Fashion-Tech means new products, processes, tools and professional figures that come about as a result of cross-disciplinary approaches. To keep up with this emerging field, there is an increasing urgency for organisations to adapt and advance collaborative practices, to find ways to integrate new technologies into fashion and design.
