Since 2022, the Textile ETP coordinates communities on various topics.
Besides helping develop new partnerships and providing information on funding opportunities, the Communities also give the opportunity to join expert webinars with expert coaches & experienced mentors, meet-ups are linked to industry & research events and companies visits.
After the success of the SmartX Europe project, and our 'Innovating in Smart Textiles' Masterclass, we are combining these two communities of +1000 experts!
The SmartX Community, a European Smart Textiles Innovation network, brings together leading industry innovators and tech developers from all over Europe, and offer meet-ups, visits of smart textile labs/industry facilities, and an online brokerage/coaching system to connect providers with companies seeking smart textile solutions.
ECOSYSTEX, the European Community of Practice for a Sustainable Textile Ecosystem, has been formally launched with a mission to accelerate collaboration in the textile sustainability and circularity field.
With support from the European Commission and the Circular-Biobased Europe Joint Undertaking, this network of textile circularity projects aims to create a long-term community of practice, ensuring collaboration across project consortia and lasting beyond the individual projects’ durations.
