THANK YOU!

Fashion Innovation Award is where start-ups come to do business.

Over the last three years, the Award has gained a reputation of a curated launch platform for FashonTech start-ups: it gives promising FashionTech entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to pitch their solution directly to dozens of senior industry decision makers, all the way to the c-level executives.

Both finalists and winners get a set of carefully tailored benefits, all designed to have an immediate effect on the start-ups’ scaling up: first-person introductions, designated free consultancy packages, as well as dedicated publicity campaigns. The pitches take place is the beautiful historic Villa Ciani, at the heart of Lugano, the sunniest city in Switzerland.
