Australian biotech business Nanollose has been chosen to participate in Fashion For Good’s 2024 Innovation Programme - a global initiative driving sustainable manufacturing practices.
Nanollose was one of ten companies picked by a panel of industry experts.
The nine-month programme will connect Nanollose with a global network of industry experts, brands, retailers, manufacturers and potential investors and provide assistance in bringing Nanollose’s technology to market.
The nine-month initiative will provide bespoke support based on the development stage and ambitions of each innovator, matching them with relevant industry partners to drive technology, impact validation as well as investment opportunities.
It comes as Nanollose prepares to scale its Nullarbor fibre technology for commercialisation.
“We are delighted to have been chosen to participate in this prestigious and valuable programme, which followed a competitive selection process undertaken by industry leaders,” executive chairman Dr Wayne Best said.
“The opportunity to connect to Fashion For Good’s extensive global network of industry experts, potential partners and investors is invaluable for the company at this stage of its growth trajectory, and will no doubt assist in accelerating the commercialisation of our product suite.”
At the core of the programme’s service offering is its ‘Innovation Platform’ – an industry hub which connects companies working on sustainable innovation with brands, retailers, manufacturers, and funders to bring new ideas and technologies from niche to norm.
Alongside production and development initiatives, the programme also provides access to an extensive network of industry investors with a direct interest in sustainable fashion practices.
Fashion For Good’s programs are supported by its founding partner, the Laudes Foundation, alongside a global network of corporate partners including Kering, Inditex, Adidas and Chanel.
