The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) is a matchmaking workshop bringing together buyers, companies/designers, suppliers, manufacturers, service providers, experts, and investors from a wide range of countries worldwide.

Building on “nearshoring,” an emerging trend by which fashion companies can produce geographically closer to their homes to save up costs and adapt to the consumer demand for fast-changing collections, the event is a response to Dutch fashion companies’ interest in nearshoring possibilities in Turkey, Portugal, and other European countries, including several inquiries regarding the production of sustainable textiles.
