Since the creation of the mmode cluster in 2015, our metropolis has become a hub for the fashion industry, where creativity meets innovation, from design to retailers. Our ecosystem has the expertise and boldness necessary to think big and pursue its ambitions. Montreal is among the international metropolises that are shaping the future of fashion and we can be very proud of that,\u201d declared Soraya Martinez Ferrada, Mayor of Montreal.<\/p>\n<p>A rich program of players involved in Quebec and Canadian fashion La Grappe mmode and GL events \/ Premi\u00e8re Vision highlight the wealth and expertise of players in the Quebec and Canadian ecosystem through inspiring conferences and workshops, designed to promote exchanges, stimulate innovation and create new growth opportunities. \u201cThe strength of the Quebec ecosystem lies in the quality of its talents and its ability to collaborate to innovate.

It confirms the central role of the metropolis as a hub of innovation, creation and influence for local fashion, which is in full swing.<\/p>\n<p>Premi\u00e8re Vision Montr\u00e9al&rsquo;s conferences and workshops will explore key themes for the fashion and clothing ecosystem: fashion and the arts, the international influence of Quebec companies, sustainable innovation, relocation, digital transformation and international collaborations.
