CTA hosted the final face-to-face meeting of the European In Transit project in Seville on 22, 23 and 24 October to review the final results and the impact generated on participating SMEs in the textile, aerospace, advanced manufacturing and construction sectors.

During the conference, the consortium partners reviewed the progress made in the different lines of work, presented the final results of the project and analysed the impact generated on the participating SMEs. In addition, the final event, ‘Invest2Impact’, was held, bringing together beneficiary companies, investors and institutional representatives to highlight the achievements and explore opportunities for future cooperation.

About the project
In Transit (Strengthening the resilience of textile, aerospace, and construction SMEs to transition towards greener and more digital sectors with social and business innovation) is a European project funded by the Horizon Europe programme that aims to strengthen the resilience of SMEs in the textile, aerospace and construction sectors through a mixed support mechanism combining individualised advice and direct financing vouchers.

The consortium is made up of nine European entities, including three Spanish partners: CTA, ATEVAL (project coordinator) and AEI Tèxtils.

With a total budget of €5 million, the project allocates €3 million to cascade funding for SMEs and an additional €1 million to provide them with specialised services that will drive their digital and green transition, thereby strengthening their long-term competitiveness and sustainability.
