Public funded projects bring together the competences of ITA and our industry partners and academic research partners from other disciplines. Here pre-competitive innovative process chains and new textile solutions for selected applications are developed. An emphasis is placed on supporting the innovation activities of SMEs.

Furthermore, process analyses and feasibility studies are carried out and prototypes are brought to market through direct research and development contracts from the industry.

For the research and development work, ITA has a modern equipped technical facility , which fully represents the textile process chain, from raw materials to semi-finished textile or component.
