𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵: 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗪𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗕𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 🎯 Starting a company is never easy - especially when it comes to 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴. No matter how strong the vision or how groundbreaking the technology, securing the resources to turn an idea into reality is one of the biggest hurdles for any startup. The truth is, 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀. This was also the case for 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗮. In the beginning, we relied almost entirely on 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝘀 to keep going. These were not just helpful - they were essential. Without them, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Now, we’re on a great path, but we will never forget the role that 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆-𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 played in getting us here. A huge 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 🙌 to FFG Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft mbH (𝗙𝗙𝗚) 🏆, Austria Wirtschaftsservice (aws) 💼, and Wirtschaftsagentur Wien (𝗩𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆) for their invaluable support. Your commitment to fostering innovation makes a real difference - one that has shaped silana and so many other companies. Startups need 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 🔥, but they also need a 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗲𝗱.  #StartupFunding #Innovation #ThankYou #Entrepreneurship #FutureOfTech #silana

In our last post, we discussed how companies that adapt early can turn these challenges into a 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲. Now, the fashion industry - long dependent on 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 - finds itself at a crossroads. With the 𝗘𝗨’𝘀 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🌍, the fast fashion model - built on 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 and 𝘂𝗻𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 - can no longer operate as it has.

Outdated business models must be replaced by 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 to drive long-term growth. At 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗮, we are embracing this transformation.

Now, with 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀, our technology becomes an 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 📉 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱. #SustainableFashion #FutureOfFashion #CreativeDestruction #Innovation #ClimateAction

While they may pose short-term challenges, science makes one thing clear: 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. Countries with less strict 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 may seem advantaged now, but delaying action only leads to a more abrupt and 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 later. ✅ 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 gain a head start in 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 and avoid the 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 of a rushed transition. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗮 recognized this early, aligning its 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 with future 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 and shifting 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀. By embedding 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 into its core and building a 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 that resonates with 𝗲𝗰𝗼-𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀, Patagonia not only 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 but is also 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. ⏳ Now is the time to decide: Will your company follow the fate of 𝗡𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗮, 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆, and 𝗞𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗸 and become almost 𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁 by reacting too late to powerful 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀, or will it lead like NVIDIA, Google, and Patagonia through 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? 🚀 #Sustainability #Innovation #ClimateAction #FutureOfBusiness #EnvironmentalRegulations

👕 The Journey of Your T-Shirt vs. 🤳 Your Favorite Travel Influencer Did you know the T-shirt you're wearing has traveled further than most travel influencers? Since the 1990s, Western textile industries have shifted production to Asia to take advantage of lower #labor costs. This has led to some startling developments: ✈🚢 Average T-shirt travels up to 64,000 km before reaching store shelves 😓👎 Workers face exploitation & inhumane working conditions 🌱🏭 Fashion industry emits around 10% of global CO2 emissions But there is a solution. #Nearshoring by silana 🇦🇹 🇺🇸 Our innovative #automation technology enables the production of T-shirts in Austria or the USA at a cost lower than "Made in China." This allows brands to bring production back to Western countries, making fashion more sustainable and ethical 🚀 If you are interested in the sources, we have them for you in the comments below.
