Governance & Participation

eBIZ is an open initiative for the benefit of textile and apparel companies.

Any party interested in promoting the use and greater interoperability of digital communication (e-Business) in the fashion supply-chain is welcome to collaborate.

Following the succesful phase 1 (pilots, 2010) and phase 2 (CEN eBIZ Workshop, 2012) the current eBIZ activities focuses on:

Monitoring the growing eBIZ adoption

Promoting eBIZ as single digital communication language for fashion and supporting the choice of eBIZ

Assessing new requirements of the fashion industry to keep eBIZ up to the business needs

These activities are coordinated by Euratex and steered by the eBIZ Advisory Board in line with the reccomendations of the eBIZ action plan approved by the Members of the CEN Workshop convened at the final plenary meeting

The eBIZ Advisory Board (AB) implements the eBIZ action plan and meets twice a year. For transparency and wider promotion, Euratex releases public notes after the meetings.
