economy annually

BUT...
vs. other tech startups.
Fashion Tech is 3X less likely to achieve VC funding
Talent Leaves
Seeking community elsewhere
GDP Growth
Stagnates
and economic value is captured abroad
Scaleups Relocate
with 1 in 3 considering moving HQs abroad
Broken Ecosystem
Where brilliant minds and breakthroughs go unconnected
How can we help?
Originally founded by ZERØTEC, our lived experience as founders and veterans of the industry gives us unique insight into the founder journey in fashion.
We have set out to build a community that provides all the things missing from other networks.
Fashion 4.0 is designed as a pro-active community that works for all of it's members!
Network Access
We are stronger together!
Our founder network and regular community events provide opportunities to share intel, collaborate with fellow founders and meet with investors and brands from across the fashion industry.
Pilots
Our extensive network and existing relationships with leading brands, manufacturers and academia are there to support your scale-up journey with structured and intentioned pilots that actually go somewhere.
Access to Talent
The UK has a long history of top talent across all industries- Fashion Tech is no exception!
Fashion 4.0 is here to support startups looking for talent and provide a meeting point for those looking to get a foothold in the industry.
So What's The Catch?
In short, there isn't one! This is a free-to-play industry-driven community for committed and engaged founders
-made by the exact people it seeks to support.
'No annoying WhatsApp groups, ulterior motives or awkward commitments!'
