About

Matteo Tommaso Baracetti Falcomer is a researcher at the forefront of digital transformation in the fashion industry, specializing in the intersection of Industry 4.0 technologies and sustainable business models. His work critically examines how the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of smart manufacturing, IoT, and data-driven marketing within the fashion sector—a paradigm shift he terms "Fashion 4.0." His most-cited study, "Evolution of Industry 4.0 in the Fashion Sector: A Comparative Analysis Before and After COVID-19," provides a groundbreaking comparative framework that reveals how digital tools enabled brands to pivot from traditional retail to direct-to-consumer strategies, enhancing resilience during global disruptions. By analyzing pre- and post-pandemic data, Falcomer demonstrates how technologies like AI, blockchain, and 3D prototyping have not only streamlined supply chains but also democratized consumer access, reshaping the entire value chain. His work is essential reading for scholars and practitioners navigating the post-pandemic landscape, offering actionable insights into how fashion firms can leverage I4.0 for both operational efficiency and competitive advantage. With his research gaining traction among sustainability and innovation circles, Falcomer is establishing himself as a key voice in the ongoing dialogue about technology’s role in building a more agile, consumer-centric fashion industry.
