The ELEVATEX project supports SMEs in their dual green and digital transition while strengthening their international competitiveness.
As part of the project, a €1.98 million budget will be redistributed to European SMEs through a cascade funding scheme via two calls for proposals.
In 2026, the first call will enable 20 selected textile SMEs to each receive €30,000 to develop new products and services, through an initial call for individual projects (one SME per proposal), with a short and simple application process.
Objectives of the ELEVATEX 2026 call for proposals:
Support the development of innovative textile products or services
Strengthen market readiness and the evolution of business models for textile SMEs
Accelerate the green and digital transition of the textile sector
Are you a textile SME? Don’t miss this opportunity to fund your innovation and support your growth. ELEVATEX organises an info day to present the first call for proposals, including application requirements, eligible initiatives, and the overall submission process.
The info day will take place online on June 16 at 10 am.
