What is an ideathon?
This is a format of intensive teamwork, where participants generate innovative ideas to solve real challenges in a short time. An ideathon combines creativity, technology and a practical approach to creating solutions.
For the first time in Khmelnytskyi, TECHSTYLE IDEATHON was held, organized by the Khmelnytskyi IT cluster, the staff and students of the Faculty of Information Technologies and the Department of Technology and Design of Garments of Khmelnytskyi National University within the framework of the project Clotex-HUB
The event brought together specialists from the garment and IT sectors to jointly generate digital solutions for the needs of the fashion industry, garment and textile sectors of the industry.
Participants had the opportunity to work in mixed teams, which included representatives of: the Khmelnytskyi Vocational Training Center for the Service Sector and the Kalynivka Technological Vocational College.
IHUB Khm became a platform for innovative ideas, where work was in full swing during an intensive day, concepts were born, and trends in the digitalization of fashion were discussed.
Why it matters: TECHSTYLE IDEATHON fits into the European practice of similar events – from Fashion Tech Hackathons in Berlin to Textile Innovation Days in Milan, where creative industries and technology teams collaborate to create new solutions for the fashion sector. This format has proven effective as a catalyst for innovation and new partnerships in the EU – and is now off to a strong start in Ukraine.
TECHSTYLE IDEATHON showed: the future of fashion lies in the synergy of technology and creativity. It is events like this that open the way to innovations, new partnerships, and modern solutions for light industry.
