Register for the Textile ETP Annual Conference 2024

The 18th Textile ETP Annual Conference will take place as a physical event on 14-15 May in Mechelen (a charming Belgian town a stone’s throw away from Brussels, easily accessible by public transport from Brussels airport and city centre).

What's in it for you?

During our Annual Conference, we will:

  • Present the EU Textile Research Partnership, the first ever EU research and innovation funding programme fully dedicated to the textile sector,
  • Celebrate the increasing success of textile start-ups and how they overcome funding and scaling challenges with support from the European Innovation Council,
  • Discuss the future direction of an industry disrupted by major technology shifts, a new regulatory regime and non-traditional business models.

The event will feature visionary plenary lectures, interactive thematic break-out sessions, thought-provoking panel debates, and plenty of networking opportunities. The event also offers the opportunity to take part in a site visit of HOGENT's FTILab+ on Monday 13 May, in the afternoon (places limited to 40 people). Discover the programme here.

The event will also be combined with the annual General Assembly of the Textile ETP.

We welcome our members as well as other professionals interested in sustainable textile innovation, EU research funding opportunities and the fascinating world of textile start-up and scale-up businesses from all over Europe.
