Ave Valley Smart Hub drives the future of the fashion industry at the Portugal Fashion Summit

Incubated at Set.Up Guimarães and based at the TecPark in AvePark, Ave Valley Smart Hub took part in the Portugal Fashion Summit, which took place on July 4th at the Museu do Carro Elétrico in Porto. 

Selected for the Startup Showcase, Ave Valley Smart Hub presented alongside two other startups and three scaleups at an event that brought together key players in the fashion industry – from brands, manufacturers, and clusters to investors and innovation leaders. 

The hub’s participation on this prominent stage represents important recognition of its work toward the digital transformation of the textile and fashion sector. The startup showcased solutions that help manufacturers organize their operations, streamline product collaboration, and turn scattered data into strategic insights—with a special focus on ESG tools that link sustainability to financing opportunities. 

Organized by Portugal Fashion and ANJE, the Summit has established itself as a space for reflection and action around the future of fashion, where innovation, technology, and sustainability take center stage. 

The presence of Ave Valley Smart Hub reinforces the importance of the Ave Valley region as a hub of industrial and technological innovation, supported by innovation environments such as Set.Up Guimarães and AvePark.
