AlpTextyles - Interreg Alpine Space Project

Last week, we were in Poschiavo for #AlpTextyles’ fourth Partners Meeting. Halfway through the project, we have already achieved a lot and laid a solid ground for the next steps. There are research works to assess the state of the textile industry in various aspects: mapping, consumer insights, aesthetics, and history. But there are also the events we championed to voice the cultural heritage of local communities from Lombardy to Austria and Slovenia, plant-based natural dyes, and much more. As for now, you can start discovering more about the research works and the keynotes from Research Day on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dprVcpTN. One of the main focuses of our meeting was the MOOC. Which platform will best house the content we are making accessible to the public? What are the entry points and the storytelling to engage with our targets? To what extent can new technological tools such as AI be involved in our efforts? And, of course, there was Milano Unica 2024 and 2025! Keep following for more! Special thanks to Patrizia Maggia (Agenzia Lane d'Italia) and Felice Piacenza from Fratelli Piacenza S.p.A. (Piacenza Cashmere) for stopping by and joining our conversation. #madewithalpinespace #madewithinterreg Interreg Europe Interreg Alpine Space EUSALP #AlpTextyles #IntertwiningCultures #PartnersMeeting #Sustainability #TextileHeritage #AlpineProducts #Collaboration #Innovation Polo Poschiavo ZRC SAZU – Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts emlyon business school Razvojna agencija Sora  Regione Lombardia Sistema Moda Italia  BELLISSIMO Istituto Marangoni TECHTERA Stand Montafon  Mediplant

🌍✨ Today, AlpTextyles joins Day 2 of the IWTO 2024 Wool Round Table! 🏔️ We’re thrilled to present our project to the global wool textile industry gathering in Istanbul for this incredible two-day event. Our Cassiano Luminati (Polo Poschiavo), Tobias Chilla (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg), Markus Lambracht (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg), and Diego Rinallo, Ph.D. (emlyon business school) will discuss how collaborative solutions that are heritage- and consumer-sensitive can help relocalize sustainable, circular, and innovative Alpine textile value chains. 💬 It is an invaluable opportunity to open the conversation on the relevance of regional projects like ours in the wider context of the wool industry, presenting the results of AlpTextyles’ mapping and marketing research activities and our upcoming tools. 🔗 For more information, please visit: https://lnkd.in/epNqnDSh #ITWO #WoolRoundTable #WoolInnovation #TextileIndustry #WoolProduction #madewithalpinespace #madewithinterreg Interreg Europe Interreg Alpine Space EUSALP #AlpTextyles #IntertwiningCultures #Circularity #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #TextileHeritage #AlpineProducts #Collaboration #Innovation Polo Poschiavo ZRC SAZU – Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts emlyon business school Razvojna agencija Sora Regione Lombardia Sistema Moda Italia BELLISSIMO Istituto Marangoni TECHTERA Stand Montafon Mediplant FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg

🌄 Valposchiavo: A Valley Defying the Odds! 🌱 The "Poschiavo, where has everyone gone?" reportage by francesca luvini and Louis Trautmann, broadcast on RSI's Falò, tells the story of the #Valposchiavo as a Smart Valley Bio through the lives of those who have chosen it as their home. 🏡 An alpine community that has taken its future into its own hands, building its appeal through grassroots cultural and social initiatives, defying all predictions of depopulation. 💡✨ 🎥 During the reportage, I was interviewed at the documentation center of the Musei Valposchiavo, coinciding with the visit of partners from the Interreg Alpine Space #AlpTextyles project. 🌍 Thanks to international projects like those led by the Polo Poschiavo, this region connects with other communities and centers of knowledge, fostering skills and innovation. 🚀 📺 Don’t miss this inspiring story of a valley that continues to amaze!

Alpine Wool Geography❓ We present #mappings that visualize the Alpine "wool geography": A complex regulatory framework results in a scale split – the local and the global level function in very different ways. Promising regional initiatives try to bridge these gaps. We contribute with mapping value creation, production networks and institutional constellations of the textile and wool sector in the #European #Alps from an #economicgeography perspective. 🗣️ As speaker at the International Wool Textile Organisation Roundtable 2024, I provide insights into the current situation of Alpine wool. Together with other partners, key results from the first phase of the AlpTextyles - Interreg Alpine Space Project will be presented and discussed at the global level. 🗣️ To discover more, visit: https://lnkd.in/dbD7ZFhM 🗣️ Link to the event: https://lnkd.in/dQezbY-j #IWTO #EuropeanWool #mapping #AlpTextyles

🌱 Exciting new beginnings with #WOOLSHED! ▶ Yesterday, our Cassiano Luminati was in Venice for WOOLSHED’s kick-off meeting. The forward-thinking project seeks to transform coarse wool —often discarded at high costs— into a valuable resource. As #AlpTextyles will be an observer for the project, we’re excited to see WOOLSHED leverage our work and collaborate, exploring new synergies and opportunities for collaboration in sustainable wool processing. 🔗 For more information, please visit: https://lnkd.in/dgMKbdct #madewithalpinespace #madewithinterreg Interreg Europe Interreg Alpine Space EUSALP #AlpTextyles #IntertwiningCultures #Circularity #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #TextileHeritage #AlpineProducts #Collaboration #Innovation Polo Poschiavo ZRC SAZU – Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts emlyon business school Razvojna agencija Sora Regione Lombardia Sistema Moda Italia BELLISSIMO Istituto Marangoni TECHTERA Stand Montafon Mediplant FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg
