Team
Ten years of passion and commitment, a group of textile entrepreneurs and friends and the support of Unindustria Como. These are the actors involved in the creation of comON, the first "creativity sharing" system in Europe. The aim is to bring local and international talents to the attention of companies in Como’s business district, but also promoting Como as a leading city in the fashion and design industry.
Unindustria Como has contributed to the project by involving a selection of companies and promoting the dialogue between the industry and the young creatives through internships and individual projects as well as by supporting the students during their Italian stay.
