Textile ETP has launched its 2027 TEPPIES (Textile Project Proposal Information Exchange System) brokerage activities following the publication of the Horizon Europe 2026-2027 Work Programmes. The initiative is designed to support collaboration among textile research and innovation stakeholders seeking to develop project proposals under Horizon Europe and the Textiles of the Future European Partnership.  

The brokerage system enables Textile ETP members to express interest in specific funding calls and identify potential consortium partners for future project proposals. Through a system of non-confidential expressions of interest, organisations can signal their intention to coordinate or participate in projects and connect with complementary expertise across the textile value chain. The activities will culminate in dedicated brokerage events, where participants can present project ideas, identify knowledge gaps, and build partnerships in preparation for upcoming Horizon Europe calls. The initiative forms part of Textile ETP’s wider efforts to strengthen collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange within the European textile ecosystem.  

The 2027 brokerage activities are available to Textile ETP members and are linked to opportunities under Horizon Europe and the Textiles of the Future Partnership; currently the window for accepting the proposals is open. By facilitating early networking and consortium-building, the initiative aims to improve the quality and impact of future research and innovation proposals in the textile sector.

Further information on participation and upcoming brokerage events is available through Textile ETP.
