The Chamber Joins International Ideathon in Larissa under the Erasmus+ W4TEX Project
The Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Belgium and Luxembourg recently participated in an international ideathon in Larissa, Greece, organised within W4TEX – Women for Textile, an Erasmus+ co-funded project supporting innovation, skills development, and inclusion in the textile sector. The event was locally hosted by Kainotomia, whose excellent organisation created a dynamic and collaborative environment for all participants.
Bringing together students, professionals, and industry experts, the ideathon fostered teamwork, intercultural exchange, and forward-looking solutions addressing the green and digital transition of the textile ecosystem. The initiative once again highlighted the importance of European cooperation in nurturing talent and driving innovation across borders.
The Chamber warmly thanks Kainotomia for the outstanding local organisation and congratulates all partners involved for delivering such an impactful and inspiring event.
A special and heartfelt recognition goes to our participants from Belgium — Pauline, Marie, Lara, and Arantxa — whose dedication, creativity, and professionalism truly embodied the spirit of the project. Their enthusiasm, collaborative mindset, and high-quality contributions made us particularly proud and perfectly reflect the value of empowering talented women through European initiatives.
