TaFF Continues To Support Innovative Brands With The Third Edition Of Its TBFI Programme
Applications for The Bridge Fashion Incubation (TBFI) programme are open till June 11
While our annual BAZAAR NewGen Awards will not be taking place this year in light of the pandemic, supporting and nurturing local talent through initiatives tailored to the fashion community’s needs continues to be important to us. Enter the Textile and Fashion Federation (TaFF)'s The Bridge Fashion Incubator (TBFI) programme—the first of its kind in Southeast Asia—that is once again on the hunt for the next movers and shakers of Singapore-based businesses in fashion and beauty.
Now in its third edition (since the launch of the programme in August 2018), TBFI's customised 16-week programme equips and enables aspiring brands by balancing educational talks and workshops with business consultations that are tailored to specific needs. The programme will address key areas such as brand strategies, product-market fit and effective business infrastructure, as well as expose brand founders to industry leaders, experts and potential investors, all aimed at enhancing market readiness.
