The Pitti Immagine event that presents the latest digital and technological innovations for fashion and luxury has registered the participation of around 800 professionals.
The 2024 edition of e-P Summit - the Pitti Immagine event that brings together the digital innovation community that works for the international luxury and fashion industry - which took place on the 9th and April 10th at the Stazione Leopolda in Florence came to an end.

The Summit saw the participation of 47 digital high tech exhibiting companies (an increase compared to 33 companies last year), and offered a rich program of round tables, speeches and presentations - almost 30 events on the agenda in two days - with guests who shared their experiences and their visions on the future of fashion and the increasingly central role of innovative technologies in this context.
The quality of the speakers, the insights and the participating companies brought a total of around 800 professionals to the Leopolda, also a growing number compared to 2023.

The focus of this edition on Artificial Intelligence and its applications in the fashion and luxury field, and among the new features is the Smart Factory area, dedicated to "intelligent" machinery and paradigm- based support technologies for the production of leather goods and clothing of Industry 4.0, which has received great acclaim.

During the event, the Innovation Call prizes for fashion tech start-ups launched by Pitti Immagine and UniCredit were awarded: the e-P Summit Innovation Award (5,000 euros) went to ZeroW, while the support of UniCredit Start Lab went to Cloov.
e-P Summit 2024 ends with a more than positive outcome. An edition that records a growing consensus among high tech and fashion operators, with a significant increase in exhibitors and also growth in attendance. We are very satisfied with the great quality of the speeches that took place on the Leopolda stage but also with the fruitful and intense contacts between the participating companies and the professionals who joined the event. The feedback, the innovative ideas and the concrete solutions that emerged from these two days confirm how much e-P Summit has become a reference event: an unmissable opportunity for professionals of the field who want to face the challenges that fashion and the digital world are facing.
