The 9th edition of the Reimagine Textile High Performance Program is now underway. Once again, the program brings together projects with an innovative, sustainable, and technological approach.

The 2026 High Performance Program is aimed at entrepreneurs and start-ups up to five years old that develop projects related to textiles and fashion, with proposals based on innovation, sustainability, or circularity. The goal is to help them grow their ideas, give them structure, and support them at a key stage of their development.

This new edition, which began on April 7, 2026, is organized in two phases. The first runs from April to July, with group sessions in the morning and individual mentoring in areas such as business strategy, operations, and technological innovation. The second phase, scheduled between September 2026 and January 2027, will focus on supporting the finalist projects in bringing their solutions to market.

A total of 42 projects were submitted this year, 30 were pre-selected, and ultimately 15 are part of the 2026 High Performance Program. Of these, 5 projects will move on to a second phase with specialized and personalized mentoring to support their market launch.

The selected projects in this edition are POO POO TRAS, CALMAI STUDIO, OFF SHORE, CAPELL 1980, LLUR, LUME, ROOKO, JOLGORIO, MOXILA, UP CHILD LAB, GLANZ COLLECTIVE, REVORN ART, HERA, UAS, and LOOM.

This year’s selection once again highlights the diversity of perspectives currently coexisting within the sector: from fashion and accessories projects to proposals for the home, children’s clothing, furniture, wearables, and technology-driven solutions applied to textiles. All of them share a clear commitment to adding value, rethinking processes, and connecting creativity, business, and impact.

Throughout the program, participants will work on essential aspects such as defining their business model, product and collection strategy, brand positioning, economic viability, market validation, and the integration of technology and innovation. Additionally, the program also provides access to spaces such as the shooting area and coworking space, as well as connections with a network of professionals, companies, and collaborators within the sector.

With this new edition, Reimagine Textile continues to support entrepreneurial talent and projects that can help transform the future of textiles from new perspectives. The initiative is promoted by the Mataró City Council and co-led by TecnoCampus and Eurecat.
