The updated EU industrial strategy highlights the need to accelerate the green and digital transition of EU industry and its ecosystems. To that end, it proposes working together with industry, public authorities, social partners and other stakeholders to design and implement Transition Pathways for each ecosystem.
The Textiles Ecosystem Transition Pathway was published on 6 June 2023. The co-implementation phase started with a call for commitments, through which stakeholders can announce concrete actions they’ve taken to support the green and digital transition of their industrial ecosystem. Stakeholders can submit commitment through this link.
The Transition Pathway policy report includes 50 specific actions to support the twin transitions and the long-term resilience and competitiveness of the textiles ecosystem. The actions presented in the pathway are divided into 8 Building Blocks, each representing 1 key aspect of the transition:
- Sustainable competitiveness
- Regulation and public governance
- Social dimension
- Research & Innovation, techniques and technological solutions
- Infrastructure
- Skills
- Investments and funding
- Ecosystem’s readiness to support EU strategic autonomy and defence efforts
