What are Ignite Labs?
Ignite Labs are a brand new Innovate UK backed series of events developed to share design innovation expertise and best practices for sustainable textiles and the circular economy, with online workshops as well as site visits to highly innovative UK organisations and facilities in the North of England. Ignite Lab participants will receive support in collaborative partnership building, applying to grant funding opportunities and developing an innovative strategy to deliver a design product successfully.
Who are the Ignite Labs events for?
These Ignite Labs are open for any business to join us and we are looking to engage those working in the textile industry including manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and recyclers to get involved. The events will be highly valuable for people working in fields such as the clothing, fashion, soft furnishings, mattress, sportswear, and leisure equipment sectors. Those who wish to use a design-led innovation approach towards a profitable, more sustainable and more circular business model should register for these events. Start-ups looking to use strategic design to help brilliant ideas get to the right market as well as established businesses looking to reposition or expand their offering should attend online or in person.
