StyleIT Demo Day: the new frontiers of FashionTech in Florence

On Wednesday 13 November at the Manifattura Tabacchi, the most innovative fashion start-ups present themselves to industry professionals and beyond

On Wednesday 13 November, at 3 p.m., the Manifattura Tabacchi in Florence will host the Demo Day of StyleIT, the FashionTech accelerator of the CDP National Accelerator Network, created thanks to an initiative of CDP Venture Capital SGR together with Startupbootcamp and Open Seed, as Ecosystem Partner. An unmissable opportunity for those who want to immerse themselves in the latest innovations in the world of fashion and luxury.

StyleIT is the programme of excellence that selects the most promising start-ups in the fashion-tech sector and supports them on their growth path, offering them tools to make themselves known and attract investment. The Demo Day represents the culmination of a journey that has been studied down to the smallest detail: each participating start-up has passed through a rigorous selection process, first entering an exploratory programme to define objectives and operational practices, and then going through a 13-week intensive acceleration phase. During this process, the young companies benefited from entrepreneurial training courses, masterclasses and meetings with industry experts, supported by mentors who helped each team improve their offerings.

Selection Day

The Demo Day is the moment of truth: start-ups will present their projects and progress, ready to make themselves known in front of an audience of potential investors and industry stakeholders. At the end of the event, an aperitif offers the opportunity to learn more about the opportunities offered by StyleIT and to network with the companies present.

Among the various promoters, Corporate Partners (Gucci, Brunello Cucinelli, Italian Textile Foundation, Idfactory, MICAM Milano and Ratti) Co-Investor (Crédit Agricole), Educational Partner (Polimoda), Open Seed stands out as one of the Ecosystem Partners of StyleIT together with Manifattura Tabacchi, which means that it actively participates in the growth of the selected startups.

Open Seed Startupbootcamp

The event is not only aimed at industry professionals, but is open to all those interested in learning more about StyleIT.
