FashionKIC (Knowledge Innovation Community for Sustainable Fashion), a new European cooperation project co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, has officially launched following its consortium kick-off meeting, marking the start of a 24-month collaborative journey across Europe. FashionKIC brings together seven highly complementary partners from five European countries, forming a transnational alliance that combines expertise in sustainable fashion, digital innovation, design education, regional development, communication, and start-up acceleration. The project aims to shape a united and innovative European fashion ecosystem that leads the transition towards sustainability, circularity, and digital excellence. The project’s mission is to empower fashion SMEs and creatives with the knowledge, tools, and networks needed to adopt sustainable, circular, and digital practices, while connecting regional fashion ecosystems into a collaborative Knowledge & Innovation Community that turns European policies into real-world impact. Guided by the core values of sustainability with purpose, innovation, collaboration, and inclusivity, FashionKIC promotes circular and responsible practices for long-term impact, practical digital solutions for transformation, equal access to knowledge and opportunities, and cross-border cooperation across Europe’s fashion ecosystems.
