The Paris Fashion-Tech Bootcamp is for pre-start-ups, start-ups or SMEs working within the fashion supply-chain or developing new technologies. The DeFINE community organises this opportunity to contribute to the development of the European Fashion-tech Innovation network.

Fashion tech in France

Want to get up to speed on the French fashion sector? Read our report ‘Innovation and sustainability in French fashion tech: opportunities for Dutch researchers and entrepreneurs’. It maps out the whole French fashion tech sector, who are the most important players in different regions in France, what are the latest (technological) developments and which challenges still need to be faced.

The bootcamp

The bootcamp will go through the main topics you need to work on in order to start and grow your fashion business. Both days will offer you experts’ keynotes on the main strategic areas for your business and at least 2 mentoring sessions, one-to-one, with the experts you want to discuss your project with in full privacy to get their specific advice.

Speakers and mentors

The 2-day programme is very dense and most keynotes will be held in parallel to individual mentoring sessions. Keynotes speeches will run for the whole duration of the event and will all be open to you. The organisation will even help build the best individual agenda for you.
