What do you need to make your innovative product idea a market success?
Courage, creativity, a keen sense of the market, money, perseverance, a good team – and external experts whose specialist knowledge complements the company’s own know-how.
I support companies (mainly SMEs) and R & D institutions in Europe in the development of textiles with additional functions. We provide quick and easy access to a wide spectrum of textile technology expertise.
We see ourselves as a bridge between R & D organisations and the industry.
