Funded via the COSME Programme, WORTH is all about creating and supporting transnational partnerships between designers, crafters, SME manufacturers, tech-firms and start-ups across EU-27, UK or COSME countries looking to develop design-driven and innovative products. The project focuses on lifestyle industries, including fashion and textile, footwear, leather and fur, furniture/home decoration/interior design, jewellery and accessories.

WORTH II is the second edition of the successful WORTH Partnership Project, which ran from 2017 to 2021 and awarded 150 innovative projects. During the current second edition, 202 transnational partnerships will be selected and supported in three calls for proposals.

The submission period will remain open until 15 February 2023.
