Launch of the EU Textiles Ecosystem Platform

At the end of 2024, CSIL kicked off a new project to support the European Commission DG GROW and EISMEA in rolling out the Textiles Ecosystem Platform, in collaboration with EY, SDA Bocconi, ITA Academy Gmbh, Hypertech SA, and Blumine Srl.

Our consortium has designed the platform to provide stakeholders in the textile industry with the knowledge, resources, and networks to help businesses transition towards greater sustainability, digitalisation, and competitiveness. It offers:

• A digital space for businesses to access key information on sustainability, digitalisation, and industry trends.
• Relevant content that supports the transition to a greener and more competitive industry.
• Opportunities for networking and collaboration among stakeholders.

The platform’s launch will take place on 16 May 2025 from 10:00 to 12:00 CEST, and we extend the European Commission’s invitation to all interested parties! During the event, participants will receive an overview of the platform’s functions, including how to publish content, access funding opportunities, and connect with industry professionals.

A key feature of the event will be the Voices of the Ecosystem session, where leading experts in the textile sector will discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with the industry’s green and digital transitions.

The EU Textiles Ecosystem Platform is a direct response to the European Commission’s Transition Pathway for the Textile Ecosystem, published in June 2023. This roadmap outlines how the sector can become more sustainable, resilient, and competitive, and the platform plays a central role in supporting stakeholders through this transformation.
