In a collaborative effort involving hundreds of experts from across the European textile ecosystem, the SRIA identifies 3 main priority areas:
- Commission Press release of the launch of the Partnership
- Textile ETP news item on the launch of the Partnership
- In July 2024, Textile ETP published the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) for the Partnership. Developed by Textile ETP with input from its members, the SRIA addresses the major challenges of the ongoing green and digital transition in the textile sector.
Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
