Grants available to let start-ups take part in ITMA 2023
Europe’s Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers (CEMATEX), which runs the ITMA exhibition, has launched an initiative to support start-ups and to inspire innovation.
CEMATEX will provide selected developers of solutions for the textile and garment industry with a grant to exhibit at the Start-Up Valley during ITMA 2023. The grant will cover the cost of having a stand at the event and participation in business matching meetings.
Eligible companies must be no more than eight years old and must have generated revenue for at least a year or raised funding from investors or other incubator programmes.
Milan will be the host city of this edition of ITMA, which will run from June 8-14, 2023.
CEMATEX president, Ernesto Maurer, said: “ITMA offers young entrepreneurs a useful platform to put their innovations in front of a global audience, to find investors and collaborators and to leverage industry connections and professional networks.”
