VETRINE at ECOSYSTEX 2025

For the first time, VETRINE partners attended the ECOSYSTEX Annual Conference which this year was held in Gothenburg (Sweden). Paula Cabeza and Montse Ibañez from TEXFOR, a partner in the consortium, represented the project at the meeting with supporting materials summarizing the project.

VETRINE recently joined the European textile project ecosystem, as the ECOSYSTEX network expanded its scope to include EU-funded projects in the field of skills and education, strengthening the link between innovation, workforce development, and the green and digital transition of the TCLF sectors.

Pedro Gonçalves from EURATEX, presented the 17th Insight Series of ECOSYSTEX focused on textile skills. It is the official launch of the Skills & Education Working Group, where VETRINE was mentioned in front of the conference. It was highlighted as one of the main themes of ECOSYSTEX.

During the conference, there were very meaningful discussions on innovation and research regarding textile from six featured projects (PESCO-UP, SOLSTICE, Textended, Hemp4Circularity, BioFibreLoop, Whitecycle). These projects are developing circular textile hubs, 5R strategies, piloting with the use of sustainable materials, lignin use, mixed-waste innovation and enzymatic recycling in Europe.

VETRINE’s participation in ECOSYSTEX 2025 highlights its growing role in the European textile ecosystem, bridging innovation, skills development, and sustainability. By engaging with other pioneering projects and contributing to discussions on circularity, digitalization, and resource efficiency, VETRINE reinforces its commitment to supporting the green and digital transition of the TCLF sectors across Europe.
