We have organised a fashion hackathon!

A few months ago I’ve killed GGC Fash&Tech in order to start a new project. One of my goals was to focus on fashiontech products that actually make sense. There’re a lot of worthless wearables on the market and weird fashion startups that actually don’t solve any problem (both in fashion and different industries). So together with partners, we’ve decided to face that issue and fight of a better fashion technologies, that actually mean something. GeekGoesChic co-operated with Polpharma (our strategic Partner), Google, Campus Warsaw, A Google Place, Burda International Poland, hub:raum, Instytut Prawa Mody, CARGO by OWEE. We were also supported by LECH (beer!) and RISK made in Warsaw. Our media partners were: Elle.pl, CrazyNauka.pl, Hiro.pl, FashionBiznes.pl. THANKS EVERYONE WHO HELPED! We’ve worked together for a few months on this project that was a huge experiment and in the end – GGC LAB happpened.

And it worked!

See how Fashiontech can help health industry (Polish)!
