The Institut für Textiltechnik (ITA) of RWTH Aachen University has created an online platform TexSpace, the first digital tool for innovation scouting in the field of technical textile technology. Users can sign in for free and communicate their project partner requests, project ideas, innovative products or services to the textiles sector.

“The textiles industry is full of innovative ideas. Textile materials, invisible to most end users, play an important role in the functionality of technologies and products in a number of industries. Textile technologies are the enabler for the modern world,” ITA reports.

“Our industry has been a major driver of technological development and will continue to do so in the future. TexSpace wants to support this: To bring textile innovations to the market faster in order to increase the speed at which innovations can be realised. Let us pursue this goal together.”

In addition to data, experts also help with the development of new technologies or business models. Learn more about our data services or development support. Together with its partner, Innoloft, and all players from industry, science and the start-up scene, ITA says it looks forward to producing textile innovations for a better world.

The core of the ITA Group is the research and teaching institution, the Institut für Textiltechnik of RWTH Aachen University. The ITA Group is an international research and training service provider for fibre-based high-performance materials, textile semi-finished products and their manufacturing processes with 350 employees.
