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. Nearly a third of produced clothing items cannot be sold and end up being shipped to already overflowing landfills in Africa,” explained Michael Hofmannrichter, CEO of Silana.
