Smart textiles - intelligent, technical, sensory, actuatory, multifunctional; Wearables, textile-based products ...
The development of smart textiles and new fields of application works only interdisciplinary and cross-industry. We promote the cooperation of manufacturers, developers and researchers - and ensure a fast transfer of knowledge between institutes and companies.
