We evaluate our innovators holistically, at the minimum, it is required that you have minimum viable product (MVP), legal entity and a promising team. Please note this programme is geared towards supporting innovations across the fashion value chain, rather than fashion brands.
HOW IT WORKS
Our Innovation Platform brings innovative solutions to the forefront. By providing hands-on project management, access to funding and a robust ecosystem of mentors and experts, we help the most powerful innovations to market faster.
We support innovations across the entire value chain, including materials, processing (chemistry, machinery), end-of-use solutions, and traceability.
Through our Innovation Platform, we empower a diverse network that includes brands, retailers, suppliers, innovators and funders. This network fosters connections, collaboration, and drives change towards a more regenerative and sustainable industry.
How We Do It
Scout & Screen: Fashion For Good creates call outs for new innovators focused on thematic landscapes addressing the industries needs. We have a rolling intake and provide bespoke support to each innovator and during intake we assess the potential performance and impact each innovation could achieve.
Validate: Fashion For Good facilitates projects and pilots to test and validate innovations. We drive consortium projects, aligning players from across the supply chain to realise pilots and help bring the most powerful innovations to market faster. We provide crucial research and development to quantify the performance and impact of each pilot.
Scale: We provide further support to our innovators who are ready to scale. We mobilise large-scale capital with the potential to create decisive system change and drive supply chain implementation through our brand partners. Amplifying success stories to inspire the next generation of innovators and incentivising the industry to take note.

Fashion for Good’s programme itself was phenomenal, and the post graduation support has been even more valuable. We truly believe Fashion for Good should be something every company in our space tries to go through, regardless of experience and size. There is something to learn and gain for everyone.

Fashion for Good put us on the map and helped us start many conversations with investors, leads and many others. What I particularly appreciate is that three years after we participated in the Innovation Programme, we are still engaging actively with the community.
