ReDesign your textile business – Ideate solutions!
Do you want to make your textile company more in line with the circular economy? Do you want to join developing concrete ideas about customer engagement, service development, digital service development, and collaboration across borders?
Welcome to the workshop series where you will have the opportunity to quickly try out what kind of circular textile business models, services, or other solutions would suit your company.
In the first part of the workshop series, we organize four ideation workshops in spring 2024. You get to network with other companies in the industry and brainstorm together and with the help of facilitators, we will co-create idea cards; preliminary concepts, which you can start prototyping in the following prototyping and testing workshops, if you want.
The final part of the workshop series focuses on piloting when you can try out how well the developed solutions would work in real life. More information about the prototyping & testing, and piloting workshops will be published in spring 2024.
All our workshops are free of charge, 3-hour agile and collaborative online events, and they are organized in English.
TO WHOM?
For all profit and non-profit organizations in the fashion and textile industry including retailers and textile manufacturers in Finland, Sweden, Estonia, and Latvia. Please note that we prioritize these target organizations, and we have a limited number of seats for other participants.
To measure the impact of our workshops, we will collect some basic information about the current situation regarding textile waste/re-use of second-hand textile items. This information is collected before the workshops.
Sign up deadline is one week before the workshop date.
