TECNALIA at FASTCH2ANGE Clustering Event

On June 12^th, 2025, Ana Suárez Vega from TECNALIA Surface Engineering proudly represented the PROPLANET Project at a high-impact clustering event hosted by the FASTCH2ANGE EU Project, coordinated by RINA-CSM. The event served as a platform for fostering collaboration among EU-funded initiatives that are driving innovation in hydrogen technologies, advanced manufacturing, and sustainability.

The event featured a series of engaging presentations from a diverse lineup of European research projects, including:
🔹 Tornado Project
🔹 MIRIA EU Project
🔹 TERASUN Project
🔹 Smartweld
🔹 COOPERANT Project

Each project shared its unique perspective and recent advancements, creating a vibrant space for exchanging knowledge and aligning efforts across complementary research areas.

During the session, Ana Suárez Vega highlighted the latest developments from the PROPLANET Project, focusing on the creation of PFAS-free, bio-based coatings for food packaging machinery, a solution with clear synergies in the context of sustainable, low-impact manufacturing. Her presentation underscored the importance of integrating green chemistry with industrial innovation, while also addressing regulatory compliance and environmental performance.

This clustering event offered an invaluable opportunity to explore shared goals, identify potential collaboration pathways, and strengthen cross-project connections, particularly around the emerging field of hydrogen-based technologies and eco-efficient production processes.

PROPLANET is proud to contribute to this growing network of forward-thinking EU projects, all working toward a more sustainable, resilient, and innovative European manufacturing ecosystem.
