🇹🇷 Two Days of Collaboration, Innovation & Progress in İzmir! 🧵🤖

On 20–21 October 2026, the TechStyle partnership came together for its 2nd Technical Meeting, hosted by our Turkish partner, the Aegean Exporters’ Associations (EIB), in the beautiful city of İzmir!

With partners joining both in person and online, these two productive days were dedicated to reviewing our progress, exchanging ideas, and planning the next steps towards a smarter, more sustainable European textile and clothing industry. 🌍♻️

📌 What did we work on?

📚 Developing the TechStyle Training Modules: Partners presented and discussed the educational modules currently under development, focusing on equipping textile professionals with the skills needed to embrace AI and digital innovation.

💻 Building Our Learning Platform: We reviewed the platform’s development, exploring accessibility, navigation, learning resources, and how to create an engaging experience for learners and trainers.

🎯 Preparing for 2027: Discussions focused on the upcoming pilot training activities, Learning, Teaching and Training Activities (LTTA), policy roundtables, and strategies to ensure TechStyle’s long-term impact.

👗 Connecting with the Fashion Industry: The meeting also included a visit to Fashion Prime Fair, offering an opportunity to engage with industry professionals, explore developments in the textile sector, and strengthen connections between education, technology, and industry.

💙 A big thank you to our hosts at EIB for their hospitality and excellent organisation, and to all TechStyle partners for their valuable contributions!

🌍 TechStyle at ECOSYSTEX Insight Series #25: Exploring AI Skills for a More Sustainable Fashion Industry! 🤖👗♻️

On 16 October 2026, the TechStyle project was featured at the ECOSYSTEX Insight Series #25 – Skills Edition, bringing valuable insights into the role of Artificial Intelligence in transforming Europe’s textile & fashion sector.

📊 What did we learn?

The presentation highlighted findings from TechStyle’s needs assessment research, conducted across France, Sweden, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Türkiye, involving:

🔹 203 professionals who contributed to the survey.

🔹 30 in-depth interviews exploring industry needs and challenges.

🔹 6 countries providing diverse perspectives on AI adoption and digital skills.

💡 The findings revealed an important challenge: while AI is increasingly becoming part of our everyday lives, its practical application across textile and fashion operations remains limited.

From AI-powered fashion design and production planning to resource optimisation, predictive maintenance, and sustainable manufacturing, there is significant potential waiting to be unlocked through targeted education and training.

🎓 Turning research into skills!

These findings are helping shape the TechStyle training curriculum, designed to equip textile professionals, students, entrepreneurs, and SMEs with the knowledge and practical skills needed to embrace AI responsibly while supporting circular and regenerative fashion.

🤝 A big thank you to ECOSYSTEX for providing a platform to share our research and connect with the wider European textile innovation community!

Together, we are working towards a future where AI, sustainability, and education go hand in hand! 🌱

🚀Our project has entered a key phase: partners across the consortium are now piloting the TYL methodology with young people and youth workers on the ground.

Real sessions. Real feedback. Real leadership in the making. 💡

As WP4 lead, IRIS Sustainable Development is gathering insights from every pilot to shape the final Methodology Validation & Impact Report — making sure what we built actually works for the youth it’s designed to empower.

Big thanks to our partners and participants making this happen. The best is yet to come. 🌍
