Footwear firms can apply for €10k SME initiative
09/05/2018
This Italian-based initiative, which ran for the first time between 2013 and 2015, aims to create and support “transnational collaboration” between fashion designers, creative people, small- or medium-scale manufacturing enterprises and technology firms that are working to develop design-driven and innovative products.
Now running for a second time, interested parties have until October 24 to apply to become a Worth candidate. Selected companies will receive funding of €10,000 for a specific design project, coaching, advice, product marketing, participation at international events, as well as networking and cross-sector collaboration opportunities.
Applicants should be small companies operating in an “eligible Worth industry sector”; footwear is among the eligible sectors.
At least two eligible countries have to be represented in the successful projects, but Worth has explained that, while it’s possible to make a joint application with an existing partner, companies can also register their interest at this link and be matched up to partners by Worth.
