Natural Wool Bio-Materials Partner — Textiles for the Future CL4 Consortium
Project Lead at Homeland Development Initiative Foundation (HDIF)
Yerevan, Armenia
About
HDIF (Homeland Development Initiative Foundation) operates Arm.wool, Armenia's first structured wool valorization program, including a processing facility in Shirak marz with direct access to raw and waste wool streams across Armenian herder networks. We are seeking a European research institute, university, or industry partner to join a consortium targeting the Textiles for the Future European Partnership under Horizon Europe Cluster 4 — specifically the textile circularity and advanced processing track. HDIF offers a live non-EU field site for testing natural fiber processing, sorting, and bio-material recovery, including lanolin and keratin extraction streams. Our involvement brings genuine South Caucasus supply chain access and rural field implementation capacity that European partners cannot easily replicate.
