Polybion Selected for Fashion For Good Innovation Programme 2023

Polybion is proud to announce that we were chosen to participate in the Fashion For Good Innovation Programme 2023. We are excited to join twelve other start-ups in this nine-month innovation programme, where we will receive bespoke support to validate our technologies in preparation for implementation across the fashion value chain.

Fashion for Good was established as a global, collaborative innovation platform to tackle the problems faced by the fashion industry. Incremental improvements are not enough to create a truly Good Fashion industry, disruptive innovation is needed. The mission of Fashion for Good is to bring together the entire apparel industry to innovate and collaborate for Good Fashion.

The selected innovators represent technologies across Raw Materials, Processing, Traceability & Transparency, Circular Business Models, and End of Use. The 2023 Innovation Programme provides bespoke support based on each innovator's development stage and ambitions, matching innovators with relevant industry partners to drive validation, implementation, and investing activities.
