The general objective of the project is to address the common cross-border challenges of the fashion sector by establishing the Creative Hub, a Fashion Center that will support SMEs and young graduates in the fashion and fashion-related sectors (footwear, leather, jewelry). This will not only deliver real, practical benefits of high added value to the project target groups (graduates, students, SMEs), but it will also help ensure the competitiveness of the cross-border area for the textile and apparel industries, as opposed to Asian countries. After all, the proposed Fashion Center will enhance the development of cross-border economic activities through the utilization of the existing potential and the emerging opportunities of collaboration and experience-sharing.
