We are thrilled to announce the 8 fashion tech startups selected by the Scientific Committee of e-P Summit for the second edition of the Innovation Call, organized in collaboration with UniCredit: Arxy, Brandplane, Cloov, FashionChain, Indigo.ai, Proke, WeWear e ZeroW.

On April 9 and 10, at the Stazione Leopolda in Florence, all eight will have the chance to showcase their innovative solutions - from virtual fitting to chatbots, from NFTs to rental platforms or reuse options for waste materials, up to content marketing - to the Summit audience and compete for the "e-P Summit Innovation Award," which offers a prize of €5,000. Plus, among these, UniCredit will choose one to access the support activities offered by the "UniCredit Start Lab" business platform.
Our support for the Innovation Call dedicated to fashion tech startups, confirms the bank's commitment to the development of innovative entrepreneurial ideas and its role as a proactive partner of Pitti Immagine. This synergy creates a significant opportunity for the new generation of Made in Italy fashion, which we are determined to support also through the expertise of the UniCredit Start Lab, the platform through which, since 2014, we have offered structured support to innovation and new technologies. To date, we have evaluated about 8,000 innovative startups and 560 of them - including 150 from the Innovative Made in Italy sector, which includes Fashion - have been supported in their growth, increasing their business opportunities, managerial development, and market strength.
