Management summary

First Tuesday is Tallinn’s fastest growing international business networking event for outward-looking companies, business leaders, investors, and institutional stakeholders. Each month brings new useful contacts from across Europe. Each time honorary guests from a focus industry bring their vision on a specific theme to spark the conversations.

This month is about ‘cross-border promotion’ with a secific focus on ‘fashion & textile’

This month, business leaders will better understand the dynamics of getting famous across borders. If you want to do successful business in another country, first be sure that the business targets of that country know who you are. All sectors are welcome as always, but we do a specific reach-out to and have set up a focus room for fashion & textile producers.

Industry focus of the month – Fashion and Textile

Also innovators in sustainable materials and textile technology are more than welcome. If your organisation is active in apparel manufacturing, fashion creation, retail operations, or fashion-related technologies, this First Tuesday will be of strategic value to your business.

Special guests sharing “international promo” and “textile and fashion” experiences

Three inspiring professionals will briefly kick off the conversations of the main networking event, by sharing their international experiences :

• Danielle Coimbra (PR news.io)  – On the balancing act between paid online advertising and journalistic “free press”.
• Michael Reiss von Filski (Hon. Consul of Estonia in Zürich, Switzerland) – On the DACH region and how to become known and develop a new business there.
• Jan Lagast – will explain how to get into the Flanders Textile Valley and the Flemish fashion cities – in the heart of the region with the biggest GDP of Europe.
