🌟Why Vienna is (one of) the best city for DeepTech Startups 🚀 If you know us, you already know how thankful we are for the incredible support from the city of Vienna and the Austrian government. Their backing has been pivotal, allowing us to develop our innovative and disruptive technologies. Their support enables deep tech startups like ours to bridge the most risky phases of technology development with public investment and founder support. While risk is always involved we can nevertheless proudly say: the investment paid off! We're the world's first company to fully automate the sewing process. 🤖🪡 BIG Thank you to FFG Austrian Research Promotion Agency, Austria Wirtschaftsservice, and Vienna Business Agency for being our pillars of support! But the journey continues. There's still significant research and development ahead of us to truly revolutionize this industry and make it more sustainable socially, economically, and ecologically. 💚👷♀️💰 Last week, we shared how the #Gründerstipendium has played a crucial role, enabling us to focus on our project full-time and acquire essential skills for startup success. Check out more details in the article by Patrick Schuster. Thanks for the excellent coverage! Gabriele Tatzberger #ViennaInnovation #StartupJourney #TechRevolution

Vienna-based silana, a startup that has developed the world’s first sewing robot, aiming to counter the precarious working conditions in garment manufacturing, just raised €1.5 million 🇦🇹 🧥 The round is led by SOSV, alongside participation in the hardware accelerator HAX in New York. Also involved are OÖ HightechFonds and Material V. “The clothing industry is responsible for 10% of global CO2 emissions. At the same time, over 90% of workers in manufacturing plants earn wages insu\icient for their survival.

Today is #earthday 🌍 So, let's talk about the fashion industry's impact on our planet. 👕 Did you know that the fashion industry contributes roughly 10% of global CO2 emissions? Shockingly, about 30% of all clothes produced are never even sold/worn. That means that up to 3% of global CO2 emissions could stem from this overproduction alone. 👚 👗 👖 The biggest contributor to this issue are the long lead times that are still prevalent in the industry. Clothes are often made on the other side of the world by underpaid workers, only to end up in landfills or incinerators. 🗑 🔥 At silana, we're committed to changing this narrative by bringing fashion production back to the point of sale. Our goal is to eliminate overproduction and its harmful environmental consequences. 🌿💚 #EarthDay #SustainableFashion #ReduceOverproduction #ClimateAction

🌱💚Fashion and Sustainability: Shaping a Better Future 💚🌱 Did you know that fashion is the second most polluting industry globally, just behind oil and gas? 🛢 It's time to shed light on the unsustainable practices that often hide behind the allure of new clothes. 👚 Fashion is more than just clothing; it's a reflection of our culture and a source of joy. But shouldn't that joy come without a heavy environmental and social cost? At 'silana,' we're passionate about creating clothing that not only makes you feel great but also lets you feel good about its impact. 🌳 Recently, our Co-Founder Michael Mayr had the privilege of participating in the Sustainability Conference at the Fashion Institute of Technology. It was inspiring to see how FIT is leading the charge in integrating sustainability into design and influencing the global fashion landscape.🌍 What stood out from the conference was their holistic approach to sustainability, considering not just ecological factors but also economic and social impacts. We firmly believe that sustainable solutions must be economically viable in the long run to truly make a difference. Join us in redefining fashion, where style meets sustainability, and every garment tells a story of conscious choices and positive impact. Together, we can shape a future where fashion thrives without compromising our planet or its people. #FashionForChange #SustainableFashion #FITsustainabilityConference 💫🌍✨
