PDS Ventures, the venture capital arm of PDS, has teamed up with Future Fashion Assembly to launch a platform aimed at connecting brands with start-ups across the supply chain.

It will help brands identify solutions across design, sustainability, operations, compliance and customer engagement, said the partners.

They plan to develop joint initiatives to help companies move innovations from concept stage through to commercial implementation.
