Strengthening Europe’s Textile Regions

Connecting regions, industry, and policymakers  to strengthen policy capacity, align regional and industry priorities, and provide a structured space for knowledge exchange

WHAT IS REGIOTEX?

RegioTex is a collaborative community that brings together Europe’s textile regions and their industry organisations to strengthen regional ecosystems and promote coordinated development across the sector.

By supporting strategic regional policymaking, enhancing coordination between public and private actors, and facilitating the exchange of practical experience across territories, RegioTex works to reinforce the foundations of Europe’s textile ecosystem.

  •  Regional authorities

Authorities responsible for industrial development, economic policy, innovation, skills, or sustainability. 

  • Industry organisations

Textile and apparel clusters, business associations and regional industry networks participate as representatives of SMEs, manufacturers, and value-chain actors. 

WHO IS INVOLVED?

RegioTex currently brings together stakeholders from 16 regions, forming an active core of textile regions that represent a significant share of Europe’s industrial and innovation capacity in the sector.

The network remains open to additional regions that share these objectives and are willing to engage through the public–private model described in this framework.
