WORKSHOP: SUSTAINABILITY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY
The Venture Builder has identified, in Portugal, non-repayable opportunities for Sustainability and Circular Economy projects in Industry 4.0, Smart Cities, Energy Efficiency, Logistics, Mobility, Robotics, Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, IoT, and 3D Printing.
The textile sector presents itself as one of the most polluting, accounting for about 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The production of clothing and other textile materials requires large quantities of water, energy, and natural resources, and generates a large amount of waste. About 30% of total textile production is still wasted, mainly due to defective production.
In this scenario, with the combination of sustainable approaches, innovative raw materials, and Information and Communication Technologies (such as Industry 4.0, Robotics, Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, IoT, 3D Printing), there is great potential for the development of solutions aimed at improving energy efficiency, reducing waste, and promoting sustainability.
The textile sector is thus one of the most innovative sectors of the Portuguese economy, which has been awarded Innovation prizes at Techtextil, one of the world’s largest textile industry events, held annually in Germany.
FUN FACT: Did you know that the most decorated swimmer ever in the Olympic Games - Michael Phelps - wore a swimsuit made and patented by a Portuguese company?
