Printed electronics are reshaping how Europe designs and manufactures technology - from smart sensors to flexible solar cells. The Horizon Europe 2026-2027 Work Programme and the EIC 2026 open new funding paths for innovators developing sustainable materials and circular manufacturing solutions. NETO Innovation shares how these opportunities connect research, industry, and real-world impact.

Technology will not save us. On its own, it can push us further into crisis just as easily as it can help us slow down. The real question is not whether innovation will save humanity, but whether we choose to use it to change direction or to accelerate the crash.

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.
