This panel provides an important platform for Albanian companies in the textile, clothing, leather & footwear (TCLF) and agro-processing sectors to foster strategic partnerships that enhance sustainability, boost competitiveness, and improve access to international markets.
Participants will share practical insights on sustainable production practices, export readiness, and evolving international market expectations.
A key highlight of the session is the contribution of Dr. Johannes Fresener from STENUM GmbH, who brings over 30 years of experience and shares his expertise on successful projects and developments in the textile and agro-processing industries.
At the heart of the session is the Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) Clubs model. This peer-learning and coaching approach helps small and medium-sized enterprises improve efficiency through structured group discussions, motivating self-assessment, and mutual support.
Successfully applied in many countries, the RECP Clubs foster peer-to-peer networks, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement in performance and efficiency — both collectively and individually.
