Amorphous metals, or metallic glasses, combine the strength of metals with the disordered structure of glass, offering exceptional strength, elasticity, corrosion resistance, and unique magnetic properties. Advances in additive manufacturing enable bulk production, expanding applications in electronics, healthcare, aerospace, and energy. While cost and processing challenges remain, European research and Horizon Europe projects are driving their industrial adoption.

Europe’s textile industry is transforming through smart technologies, bio-based materials, and cross-sector collaboration. From SmartX’s EU-wide ecosystem to BioFibreLoop’s recyclable innovations, and new Horizon Europe funding for sustainable textiles, the sector is entering a new era. At NETO Innovation, we help turn these opportunities into fundable projects.

As the world races toward clean energy, battery production must scale up fast. But ramping up isn’t just about building gigafactories; it’s about doing it smartly. This blog explores why ramp-up is so challenging, how coating precision and OEE impact quality, and how collaborative commissioning can reduce time-to-stable-production by 30%. Innovation in batteries must include smarter manufacturing.

NETO Innovation has joined the Innovation Advanced Materials Initiative (IAM-I), a European platform uniting key stakeholders to accelerate sustainable advanced materials. This partnership reinforces NETO’s commitment to supporting EU industrial leadership, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and contributing to strategic R&I agendas aligned with the Green Deal and digital transition goals.

Rare earths - a group of 17 elements including lanthanides, scandium, and yttrium - are critical to modern technologies but challenging to extract sustainably. While not truly rare, their concentration in exploitable deposits is low. As demand rises, innovations like Marie Perrin’s Reecover, which recycles rare earths from electronic waste, are reshaping the supply chain toward a circular, resilient economy.
