From July 30 to August 1, 2025, Clotex-HUB became part of one of the key events of the Ukrainian fashion industry, the international exhibition Kyiv Fashion. This event brought together manufacturers, designers, educational institutions and technology startups working at the intersection of fashion and innovation. For Clotex-HUB, participation in the exhibition was not just an opportunity to present itself, but also a platform for establishing new connections, exchanging experiences and promoting the digitalization of light industry.
The main goal of the hub is to provide industry enterprises with access to modern digital solutions: from 3D clothing design to automated production lines, testing new technologies, and implementing innovative business models.
This time, the Clotex-HUB team presented a series of workshops in the lecture hall of the exhibition center, consisting of three blocks:
Block 1 METHOD OF DIGITALIZING PATTERNS WITHOUT THE USE OF PERIPHERAL DEVICES
Speaker: Olesya Ditkovska, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Technology and Design of Sewing Products, Project Communications Manager.
Block 2 PAPERLESS CUTTING TECHNOLOGIES
Speaker: Halyna Shvets, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Technology and Design of Garments of Khmelnytskyi National University, Cluster Manager of the Podil Fashion Cluster.
Block 3 FEATURES OF PREPARING A FILE WITH CLO3D TO CREATE A HOLOGRAM
Speaker: Head of the European Digital Innovation Hub EDIH "Clotex-Hub" Oksana Zakharkevych, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Technology and Design of Garments, Head of the Research Department Khmelnytskyi National University.
The target audience was young designers, clothing designers, students of the "Light Industry Technologies" department, fashion visualizers, businesses working with 3D technologies. The format of the event was a lecture and practical demonstration. After listening to the workshops of three blocks, the target audience received a comprehensive understanding of modern digital tools that transform traditional processes in light industry.
Participants deepened their knowledge of digitalization in the clothing industry, learned how to implement the latest technologies in their own production, and will also be able to better adapt to European standards of innovative development.
The Clotex-HUB stand at the exhibition attracted the attention of a large number of visitors, entrepreneurs, teachers, students and partners. The following was presented:
- demonstrations of digital services: augmented reality, digitization of patterns, paperless cutting, working with Clo3D and holograms, and modern equipment for manufacturing products;
- examples of cooperation with universities and companies in the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies;
- consultations on obtaining hub services – from digital maturity diagnostics to equipment selection and staff training.
This format allowed enterprises to see in practice how innovations can be integrated into the production process with minimal costs and high efficiency.
For Clotex-HUB The exhibition was an important step in expanding the partner network, promoting the hub's services among SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and raising awareness of the benefits of digital transformation in light industry. New contacts, ideas for cooperation and requests for pilot projects are already being transformed into concrete initiatives.
As part of its mission to support digitalization and the development of light industry, the European Digital Innovation Hub Clotex-HUB provided the sewing company SPARK SEWING EQUIPMENT LLC with a unique opportunity to present modern production equipment at the hub's stand during an international exhibition.
Thanks to this initiative, the company received space at the branded Clotex-HUB stand to demonstrate its own technological solutions, involvement in the hub's communication campaign, as well as access to a professional target audience, including manufacturers, designers, distributors, and educational institutions.
The presentation of the equipment at the prestigious industry platform allowed the company to strengthen its presence in the market, establish new business contacts and emphasize the innovative potential of the Ukrainian light industry. Clotex-HUB will continue to support companies in the industry, creating conditions for demonstrating their technologies, integrating digital solutions and entering new markets.
Clotex-HUB plans to continue participating in industry events, including international exhibitions, educational forums, and startup competitions. Such presence allows not only to represent Ukraine in the European digital space, but also to actively shape the modern image of light industry.
