The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Culture & Creativity has opened applications for the small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) Fashion Adaptor 2025, part of its Business Plan 2024-2025 under Horizon Europe. The programme will support 30 fashion SMEs in shifting from linear models to circular, resource-conscious practices.

Built around four pillars - Capital, Quality, Globality and Material Innovation, the 10-week training combines mentoring, coaching, peer learning, and use of a digital circular tool. Selected SMEs will also join a Demo Day to showcase progress.

Applications close on 29 August 2025, 18:00 CET, with eligibility limited to SMEs from EU Member States or Horizon Europe associated countries. Proposals will be assessed on the criteria of Excellence, Impact and Implementation.
