GROUNDED uses technology to transform a sustainable supply-chain network of community-based handicraft producers, designers and corporate clients, such as SME’s, into an online marketplace. The platform serves as a tool for the handicraft communities to access knowledge, technology, training, services, and markets. It also helps designers and clients discover new producers and suppliers.
GROUNDED forges new collaborations and build relationships in the supply and demand of sustainable handicraft products. Its aim is to support learning experiences, provide access to knowledge and technology, and to ensure quality standards through a rating and review system.
