Mango continues to prioritise sustainability and innovation

Global fashion brand Mango is reinforcing its innovative spirit and investing in Ziknes through its Mango StartUp Studio accelerator, a start-up that develops software and robotic 3D printing systems that make it possible to go from design to print, with recycled materials, in a matter of minutes.

The investment involves the financial support of the company through a convertible participation loan and represents the entry of Ziknes in an acceleration programme through which entrepreneurs will learn at first-hand how Mango operates and be able to scale up their business model. In addition, the Ziknes team will receive advice and mentoring sessions from the company’s experts in areas such as product design, specifically furniture design.

This is the fifth investment Mango StartUp Studio has made since its launch in 2022. To date, the accelerator has invested in companies such as the sustainability start-up specialising in the resale of textile waste, Recovo, and the technology start-up Union Avatars, a platform for digital identity and the development of avatars in different styles, among other start-ups.

Ziknes was founded in 2021 with the mission to revolutionise the world of manufacturing by bringing together 3D printing and robotics to improve efficiency, flexibility and sustainability in production. The start-up is committed to the use of low-energy technologies that focus on minimising material waste.
