TBFI Scale Up
Accelerating the startups reshaping fashion — from pilot to scale.
TBFI Scale Up is Singapore Fashion Council’s growth-stage accelerator for fashion tech and sustainability startups. We connect founders with brands, investors, and ecosystem partners across Asia and beyond.
What We Do
TBFI Scale Up is a non-cohort accelerator run by SFC’s Innovation & Technology team. We work with growth-stage startups that are past the idea stage — companies with a working product, early traction, and a clear path to scaling in the fashion industry. We open doors, structure pilots, and help founders move faster.
Who We're Looking For
We work with startups that are ready to move — not just pitch.
- Growth-stage — post-MVP with some commercial traction
- Fashion-relevant — AI & tech for fashion, materials innovation, circularity, or supply chain
- Pilot-ready — able to engage and execute with fashion brands in the near term

Nūl Global Technologies
Fashion is drowning in overproduction. Nūl’s AI-powered Fashion OS helps brands get ahead of it — automating demand forecasting, inventory allocation, and materials planning so they sell more, waste less, and stop relying on spreadsheets. Shortlisted for the Global Fashion Agenda Trailblazer Programme 2026 and showcasing at the Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen.
Loom Carbon
Every year, millions of tonnes of textile waste ends up incinerated or in landfill. Loom Carbon converts that waste into bio black and renewable oil through pyrolysis — turning an industry liability into a scalable, profitable commodity. Backed by SFC with a USD 300K investment, and in active conversations with leading climate investors including At One Ventures and Breakthrough Energy Ventures.
