Whether you are interested in sustainability or are tech-savvy, our Innovation Hubs offer textile companies, research organisations, brands and retailers the chance to learn, network and collaborate on the hot topics of circular and biobased textiles, and smart and technical textiles.

Approaching the end of the first year of the Circular & Biobased Textiles Innovation Hub, Textile ETP created a summary of the topics targeted in our different webinars and the speakers who brought this content to us, our physical meet-ups and networking opportunities where Hub members had a chance to meet in person.

On 30 September 2024, our Community Manager Kamilla Drubina had a chance to speak at the Sustainable Textile Forum in Budapest. Kamilla discussed the latest developments in textile sustainability at the European level, and highlighted Textile ETP's activities supporting the sustainable transformation of the EU textile sector.

On 18-19 September 2024, Textile ETP’s Sustainability Programmes Officer Tilla Kross and Community Manager Kamilla Drubina represented the organisation at the Circular Textile Days in the Netherlands.
