The OECD highlights the Green Transition Portugal’s Textile Industry - Portugal Business News  Green News Europe - The OECD highlights how Portugal’s Textile Industry is managing its Green Transition in a report dated September 26 th , 2025, by Marco Marchese from the OECD and António Braz Costa from CITEVE and CeNTI. Here is how Portugal’s Textile Industry is managing its Green Transition:     1 – Why is the Green Transition of the textile industry essential?   From fields to fast fashion, the journey of a single T-shirt can leave behind a trail of environmental damage:   Producing just one pair of jeans uses up to around 7,500 liters of water, that is equal to the amount one person drinks over seven years.   Moreover, synthetic fibers shed tiny plastic particles, adding to the estimated half a million tons of microplastics entering the oceans each year.     The global textile and clothing industry also accounts for about 10% of carbon emissions and 20% of wastewater, according to the OECD report “The green transition of SMEs: A tale from Portugal’s textile and clothing industry”.     2 - What is the importance of Portugal’s textile industry in the context of the EU?   As the fashion cycle accelerates, so too does the environmental footprint of the global textile industry and the need to manage the sector’s green transition.   Portugal has a large textile industry with around 12,000 companies employing around 132,000 employees in 2022. Portugal’s textile industry generates a turnover of around EUR 8.86 billion, out of which 70% is for the export market.   Portugal’s textile industry is also significant at EU level, since it generates 10% of the EU’s Textile and Clothing jobs and 5% of the sector’s turnover in the EU.     3 - How is Portugal’s Textile Industry managing its Green Transition?   Portugal is transitioning towards green textile products, from the development of bio-based materials to better water management, as well as decarbonization, and circularity, under the technical coordination of CITEVE, the Portuguese Tech center for Textile and Clothing industries.    This is how Portugal is managing the Green Transition of Textile and Clothing Industry in 2025:   1 - Portugal stands out for its innovative investments in eco-friendly materials, including forestry byproducts where cellulose is extracted from trees and is transformed into biodegradable fibres like lyocell, that is a strong and versatile alternative to synthetic materials.   Other Portuguese green innovations in the textile industry include recycling agricultural waste such as corn husks, grape skins, and other organic waste to produce natural fibres and dyes.   2 - Portugal’s Ocean economy now includes algae-based textiles, which use algae to create biodegradable fabrics, that is another important innovation to reduce reliance on petroleum-based products.   3 - IT and automation developments in Portugal’s textile industry have also introduced breakthrough technologies and innovations such as The Digital Product Passport (DPP).   IT technologies allow for managing closed-loop water systems that capture, treat, and recycle water used in production processes, thus significantly reducing water consumption and discharge. Textile companies are investing in rainwater collection systems to supplement water supplies and deploying innovative polymer particles that cut water and energy use during the dyeing process.    4 - Portugal’s textile industry is also taking advantage of the fact that the country has one of the highest rates of renewable electricity production in the world, and many factories have installed their own solar, wind and biomass systems to power operations, while machinery upgrading is helping manufacturers lower their carbon footprint by reducing energy consumption.    5 - Sustainability is high on the agenda and Portugal has emerged as a hub for circular fashion. In Portugal’s northern region, where nearly 90% of the country’s Textile industry is concentrated, several companies are recycling industrial waste and discarded garments into high-quality secondary raw materials.   As Portugal illustrates, the green transition of the Textile industry is not only a climate imperative but also a business opportunity to innovate production, secure local jobs through SMEs, and to capture a larger share of the growing global demand for sustainable fashion.

Sweden will produce Gripen E fighter jets in Portugal - Portugal Business News Defense News Europe - Sweden will produce Gripen E fighter jets in Portugal, following the Memorandum signed between SAAB and Portuguese companies OGMA and Critical Software when Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson visited Portugal on September 25 th .   Swedish Defense corporation SAAB will produce Gripen E fighter jets as an innovative and cost-effective solution, investing in partnerships with OGMA and Critical Software to boost the EU defense industry.   The EU’s shift towards European-made options has led Saab to choose Portugal to produce fighter jets that rival the best in the world.     What is the Gripen E fighter jet?   The Gripen E fighter jet relies on advanced electronic warfare (EW) systems that create a 360-degree electronic bubble around the aircraft, so it is capable of operating in highly contested combat environments. The Gripen E fighter jet achieves air supremacy with the carriage of up to seven Meteor Beyond Visual Range Air-to-Air Missiles and two Within Visual Range IRIS-T missiles.   The Gripen fighter jet developed by Swedish defense giant SAAN is highly adaptable and innovative, since its unique design separates the tactical software from the flight hardware, allowing updates to be made quickly and at a reduced cost.    The Gripen E AI-piloted aircraft is extremely difficult to defeat in combat and the flexibility and speed in implementing updates to its defense systems have been a key feature of the Ukrainian battlefield.    The Gripen E fighter jet is capable of operating in hostile environments and is able to use highway lanes as runways for landing and takeoff.     Why Did Sweden choose Portugal for producing the Gripen E fighter jet?   The golden rule for modernizing the EU Armed Forces is to ensure the involvement of national defense industries to provide the much-desired strategic autonomy.   "You have very strong companies here," stated Daniel Boestad, highlighting the potential of integrating Portugal into the Gripen production and maintenance chain.   This new cooperation will enable a large-scale technological and industrial transfer program so Portugal may become an important partner in the Gripen’s global supply chain.   The Gripen E fighter jet is capable of mid-air refueling, and Portugal is preparing to acquire refueling kits for Embraer's KC-390 aircraft. According to Saab, the combination of these two aircraft that are used by both Sweden and Brazil is an example of a "successful partnership."   Saab will cooperate with Portuguese company OGMA for the production, maintenance, repair, and overhaul of the Gripen E fighter jet, while Critical Software will participate in several joint projects in the aviation software sector.   Swedish Defense Minister Pål Jonson stated that the new Gripen E aircraft built by Saab will remain in service until at least 2050. Sweden plans to accelerate its military buildup is aiming to reach NATO’s new defense spending targets, namely 3.5 percent of GDP on core defense plus 1.5 percent on related investments, by 2030.
