EPIC - Entrepreneurship and Product Innovation Center

Over the weekend, EPIC Jam’s special edition, held as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 🌍, zoomed in on tackling sustainability challenges in the fashion 👗 and wine 🍷 industries. Organized in collaboration with the Private Sector Development and Technical Vocational Education and Training in Armenia project (commissioned by the German Government and implemented by GIZ), and supported by the Fashion and Design Chamber of Armenia (FDC) and the Vine and Wine Association of Armenia, the event brought together passionate problem-solvers 💡 eager to make a real-world impact. With expert mentors from the fashion and wine industries guiding them, participants crafted ideas to address pressing challenges— from reducing waste in fashion to promoting eco-friendly winemaking. Winning teams walked away with exciting prizes 🏆 from our partners, as well as a ticket to the next batch of our incubation program, gaining access to even more valuable opportunities for growth and development of their ideas.
