The New York Fashion Tech Lab<\/a> is celebrating its tenth year supporting women-led startups through its premiere program devoted to creating innovative advances in the fashion and retail-tech space through its community-driven, relationship-building, business development platform. And this week, the non-profit announced the next set of leaders participating in the 2023 cohort class.<\/p>\n

NYFTLab<\/a> selected six companies to participate in the coveted 12-week program<\/a>, including Altr<\/a>, Hue<\/a>, Sociate<\/a>, Sparkbox<\/a>, PSYKHE AI<\/a>\u00a0and Try Your Best<\/a>. These companies provide inventive solutions in user-generated content, digital fashion, price optimization, AI-driven chat capabilities, personalization and more.<\/p>\n

Each company will collaborate with NYFTLab\u2019s retail and brand partners to enhance business development. The goal for the collaborations is to connect tech with fashion, beauty and retail to find new ideas and unique solutions to bring to the space. The selected companies will engage in curated workshops, weekly sessions, and have meetings with investors and senior executives from the Lab\u2019s network of experts.<\/p>\n

This year, new brand partners include Saks<\/a>, Selfridges<\/a>, TJX<\/a>, and Wolverine World Wide, Inc.<\/a> They will join returning partners Burberry<\/a>, Macy\u2019s Inc<\/a>, Levi Strauss & Co<\/a>, LVMH<\/a>, Richemont<\/a> and Vera Bradley Inc.<\/a> Accenture<\/a> and Fenwick & West LLP<\/a> are also supporters of NYFTLab.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe founded the NYFTLab with the goal of identifying some of the most innovative fashion technology entrepreneurs and connecting them directly to industry leaders to advance the retail landscape,\u201d Kay Koplovitz, co-founder and chairman of the board for the NYFTLab and Springboard Enterprises, said in a statement. \u201cTen cohorts later, we\u2019re so proud of our alumnae and how far they\u2019ve come. This year\u2019s cohort will undoubtedly add to the ongoing success of the initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n

The experience will culminate with the annual Tech Runway Demo Day, where the founders will present their technology to retailers, brands, investors and the press.<\/p>\n
