The »Berlin Poland« network projects aim to unite the potential of the creative metropolis of Berlin with the dynamic Polish economy, providing support for professional cooperation building. Project activities connect design companies with potential clients since 2011. From 2015 onward, the project also facilitates access to qualified manufacturing partners and services in the field of fashion.
The network projects open up direct access to complementary knowledge and experience within both countries. The result is a comprehensive network that brings both markets closer together, provides support for concrete economic relations and emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary design processes for an innovation-oriented economy.
›Berlin Poland 2016-19‹ is a continuation of the IDZ projects ›Berlin Poland 2013-2014 / 2015‹ and ›Berlin Wielkopolska 2011-2012‹ that until now connected more than 900 companies from both countries.

Sustainability, ›circular fashion‹, digitization and mass customization – the fashion industry is transforming at a fast pace. Designers seek for new production methods and partnerships that offer shorter communication and distribution channels to meet the market demands and gain more transparency. What are the benefits and challenges for a production in Europe? Marte Hentschel, founder & CEO of fashion network Sourcebook spoke with Marita Jablonski (Good Garment Collective), Victor Koshevsky (Dynalian and Poge Industries), Julia Leifert (Philomena Zanetti) and Grzegorz Słupianek (Art Dress) about their experiences and the future of fashion design and production.
