CIIF has received several proposals to create or extend existing Fashion and Contemporary Design Technology platforms to enable e-commerce, value chain integration and access to resources by Fashion practitioners. Further consultations reflected the need for such technology platforms to include Visual Arts and Craft to enable increased sustainability.

CIIF is seeking to support the development of a sustainable integrated platform which is hosted by a public entity in collaboration with private creative enterprises. The platform should already be operational with adoption by at least 50 stakeholders.  The grant should be used to further develop and extend features and reach of the platform and to contribute to the development of and operationalisation of its revenue model.

To participate in this programme, practitioners are asked to read the call document and complete the online application form by February 28, 2020.
