The Textile Trade Association – Textile Cluster participated in the first ECA Cluster Conference 2025, held on 10–11 December in Madrid.
The conference, organised by the European Clusters Alliance, brought together over 100 representatives from cluster organisations, institutions, the European Commission, regional and international actors, who through inspirational speeches, examples of good practice and constructive discussions opened up key issues related to the challenges and needs of the European cluster ecosystem.
Within the framework of the conference, dissemination of projects VERDEinMED and Mission4Water, which the Textile Trade Association – Textile Cluster is currently implementing, was carried out. The projects were presented as examples of promoting the circular economy, sustainable resource management, developing green innovations and strengthening intersectoral cooperation at regional and European level.



The event also provided a valuable opportunity to network, exchange experiences and establish new contacts, as well as to identify potential synergies between European initiatives and project activities.
We continue to actively contribute to the European cluster ecosystem and highlight the importance of clusters as drivers of innovation, competitiveness and sustainable development, through the implementation of projects that address real challenges related to sustainability and resource management.
