Coming Soon! Is Social Media Week 2017

 

Fashion x Tech meet up gathers industry professionals to discuss sourcing fashion from Africa and how technology can be used as an enabler for our continent to become a formidable and sustainable sourcing hub.

This has aided the communication of brand storytelling and PR, but how else can technology be leveraged to connect and promote local

manufacturing and sourcing in Africa’s fashion industry?
