PREVIOUS PROJECTS

At MAD, we are proud of the support we can offer to Brussels designers to help them grow into successful businesses. Therefore, we do not let results from previous fashion and design projects go to waste. On our website you can still find a trace of some of the bigger projects that MAD has initiated in the past. 

  • Union Européenne
  • Innoviris
  • Région de Bruxelles-capitale

TRIAXES was an accompaniment program that was part of the operations of MAD Brussels from 2014 to 2021.

The program was built on the guidance of entrepreneurs during their product development trajectory by 3 experts from different fields. In total, the TRIAXES program accompanied more than 44 design and fashion projects during 5 years. The program was based on the idea that offering a mix of different expertises to design and fashion entrepreneurs during their product development journey, specifically focused on the crucial Research & Development (R&D) phase, could lead to a clear understanding of the concept, the target market, and the necessary set-up and production techniques.

TRIAXES also has a Masters program (TRIAXES Ens), that still continues today, where students from different educations and schools collaboratively developed a pre-prototype product and business plan.

The program was funded by ERDF - European Regional Development Fund, the Brussels Capital Region and Innoviris.
