The Power of Thinking and Acting as a Cluster: TTRAC and the COMPASS Project

The manufacturing industry is evolving, and at the heart of this transformation is circularity powered by digital innovation. COMPASS is proud to be one of the seven Horizon Europe projects of the TTRAC cluster, an initiative designed to accelerate Europe’s twin transition towards green and digital industries.

What is TTRAC?
TTRAC, short for Twin-Transition Cluster, brings together seven pioneering EU-funded projects that leverage cutting-edge digital technologies to drive progress in circularity and remanufacturing across the manufacturing sector. By acting as a unified cluster, these projects can share knowledge, resources, and best practices to scale impact faster than any individual initiative could alone.

Digital Twins: Driving Smarter, Cleaner, and More Sustainable Production
Supported by EU funding, initiatives like TTRAC are harnessing digital twins, virtual replicas of physical systems, to transform how industries operate. These tools enable manufacturers to:
🟢 Predict material performance and aging before production.
🟢 Optimise maintenance schedules to extend equipment life.
🟢 Design closed-loop supply chains where waste becomes a valuable resource.

This is more than technological innovation; it’s a new mindset for European industry, demonstrating that technology and sustainability grow stronger together.

Why Acting as a Cluster Matters
By collaborating within TTRAC, projects like COMPASS gain the opportunity to:
🟢 Champion innovative tools and models for digital twins, resource efficiency, and data-driven decision-making.
🟢 Energise partnerships between industry and academia to deliver real-world sustainability solutions.
🟢 Build momentum towards a more resilient, carbon-neutral future.
