Go for green

Season 1, Ep. 2

Fast fashion might be cheap, but it comes with an environmental and social cost. The European Commission’s 2020 “European Social Innovation Competition” gives young entrepreneurs the chance to pitch ideas to radically change the fashion industry towards increased sustainability. In this podcast we’ll talk to the Competition’s 30 semi-finalists. These entrepreneurs aim to change the fashion industry with their socially innovative idea. Slow, swap or second hand, or creating something new – Let’s hear from these young talents who are setting trends by setting an example.
