NEMONA
is a fashion incubator and network in the field of fashion
and production in Berlin-Neukölln and it is aimed at fashion
designers and seamstresses. The aim is to promote the partnership
networking between these two groups for new sources of jobs
and to develop business models.
As an example NEMONA
has been developing a sustainable database in textile production
for Berlin as an innovative device to improve the professional
and social integration for fashion producers called sourcebook.
Since implementation in March 2015 the platform has a membership
of over 600 people and companies around the fashion sector
in germany. www.sourcebook.eu
The establishment and
maintenance of the network depends on the implementation
of concrete projects. Our long-term experience in networking
shows that they work best in places where people work towards
a common aim with visible milestone results. NEMONA has
clearly defined intermediate projects which hold the network
together.

For
instance, NEMONA has establishment a showroom during Berlin
Fashion Week, is organising temporary showrooms and in partnership
with the district office events like Neukölln Fashion Night
and Neukölln Fashion Weekend.
NEMONA also offers regular
network meetings to share information, to collaborate with
other networks or the exchange of qualifications (e.g. relevant
industrial and commercial knowledge or specific knowledge
of production based on ecological aspects).
Since September 2015
NEMONA is concentrating on sales to strengthen and stabilize
the local economy / textile sector in Neukölln. The basis
of this work is an integrative educational and economic
concept to increase the employment situation of the members
living in Neukölln, Berlin and to improve the economic situation
of the participants in the area, as well as to anchor the
district as a fashion location.
