Trailblazer Programme
Global Fashion Agenda (GFA) and PDS Ventures are searching for early-stage innovators with sustainable solutions that can transform the fashion and textile supply chain. Their Trailblazer Programme aims to discover, support, and empower companies that are driving sustainability in the industry.
Additionally, PDS Ventures will invest up to $200,000 in one selected innovator, helping them scale their business and maximize their impact. The final investment amount will be determined based on the company’s growth stage and PDS Ventures’ internal evaluation process.
The chosen innovator will also receive strategic and operational guidance from PDS Group’s Positive Materials, a textile company dedicated to low-impact textile innovation through collaboration with start-ups, supply chain partners, and established brands.
All shortlisted Trailblazers will present their concepts at the Global Fashion Summit: Copenhagen Edition 2025 on June 4-5 at the Copenhagen Concert Hall. This platform will allow them to connect with industry leaders and potential investors while showcasing their businesses.
