At the event, speakers from French and European regional authorities, local associations, companies and experts will discuss how to encourage and protect creativity; facilitate access to financing for SMEs; maintain the European excellence in fashion and creativity; and preserve, transmit and upgrade skills for the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI).
Since EU is the world luxury leader in the fields of ready-to-wear, perfumes, leather goods, shoes, with more than 2/3rd of global brands, it is important to address the topic of how it can maintain its leadership in a world where creation is without borders and where production can easily be relocated.
As the voice of the European industry, EURATEX aims to create favourable environment within the European Union for manufacturing of textile and clothing products.
