HFDA Spot – Be part of the Hungarian fashion and design industry’s first online community

Almost 250 actors of the fashion and design industry joined the free digital platform launched by the Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency, which, besides networking, contains job offers and tenders for the users and encourages collaborations between the manufacturers and the designers. Therefore, the members of the HFDA Spot can easily establish business relationships on the platform and find the business partner that best fits their ideas.

One of the key strategic pillars of the HFDA’s operation is the development of the production, in the centre of which stand the facilitation of sales processes, the mitigation of labour shortage, and the promotion of collaboration between the manufacturers and the designers. The Agency started its HFDA Spot platform in the summer of 2020, which hosts online business communities and opens new horizons for knowledge sharing within the profession and possibilities of collaboration. Since then, almost 140 fashion industry users and more than 100 design industry users have registered on the platform. Based on the feedback, many people have already found the partner that best suits their business ideas, and this is only the beginning: HFDA plans on further developments, which will broaden users’ possibilities.

Wide-ranged, innovative opportunities in searching partners and recruitment

One of the strong suits of the platform is that it cannot only strengthen our network but expand it easily with the exploration function. Moreover, it can be used for recruiting or job searches. The “Job offers” tab on the HFDA Spot website facilitates just that, with 22 available jobs at the moment. In addition, the page offers sales opportunities for the users as they can create an attractive profile for potential buyers and customers.

More competitive sales opportunities in the digital space

HFDA Spot enables the industry representatives to introduce their talent, making them unique and outstanding on the market in a digital form; thus, they can have new and more competitive sales opportunities. The initiative aims to create a 21^st-century meeting point for those working in the fashion and design industry, opening new paths for creating professional relationships, taking part in the rethinking of the business and operation model of the regions’ textiles and clothing industry.
