Project overview
The document provides an overview of a project to transform the textiles and clothing industry by 2025 through establishing an "irresistible global movement". Key points include: - Returning 5% of manufacturing capacity locally and reducing the industry's eco-footprint by 20% through business labs for design, production, and community development. - Creating an ecosystem of over 1,000 organizations and a customer-driven service environment through business pilots, knowledge resources, and business services. - The project aims to launch business labs and pilots, build out its online presence and community, and define its frameworks by a milestone in March 2016. Open issues include balancing open vs closed innovation and effectively building and engaging the local community.
