SCALE Fashion Italy 2025

CALLING ALL SWEDISH FASHION BRANDS INTERESTED TO SCALE-UP ON THE ITALIAN MARKET!

JOIN THE ACCELERATOR PROGRAM SCALE ITALY 2025  

The popular accelerator program SCALE is finally coming to Europe, starting with Italy – the cradle of fashion! Curious about joining the 1^st edition of the SCALE program in Italy?

SCALE is a unique multi-company accelerator program aimed at founders, CEOs and/or C-suites within consumer goods to further localize and scale up their business. The program consists of a “smorgasbord” of 9 tracks of which the participants can choose 3 specifically tailored for their individual needs and internationalization journeys. SCALE has seen several successful editions in the US and is now for the first time coming to Europe, aimed specifically at Swedish fashion brands scaling-up on the Italian market. 

Italy is known as the cradle of fashion and home to one of the big four fashion capitals, Milan. Italian consumers spend 145% more than the European average on clothing, and Italy is a major manufacturing hub for fashion, with a high concentration of fashion production activities in the EU. It accounts for about 50% of the EU's shoe production and over 40% of EU apparel production. 

The SCALE Italy accelerator program offers participants a curated selection of strategic and operational advisory and support to choose from – from incorporation, distributor/partner prospecting, sourcing support, local competitor analysis and more. Furthermore, the program provides 1:1 coaching sessions with experienced Business Sweden consultants on specific topics. In addition, the program will wrap up with a joint Swedish fashion pop-up showroom in Milan and an official inauguration event. 

Swedish companies active within the fashion sector, including apparel, shoes, accessories and jewelry, are invited to join our informative webinar on Tuesday 6th of May at 14:00 CET to learn more about SCALE Italy and why you should apply to participate. 

The webinar will be held in English. 

We are looking forward to seeing you there!
