In order to cope with competition from low-wage countries and to improve the international competitiveness of the European textile industry, new technical textiles with high-added value need to be developed.

INTELTEX will bring together renowned European academic, R&D partners and innovative SMEs in the fields of nanotechnology and traditional textiles for a common multidisciplinary work.  

The creation of new technical and multifunctional textiles such as that proposed by INTELTEX will promote the transition towards a more knowledge based and less resource intensive textiles industry.

The strategic market of technical textiles exhibit strong expansion and seems perfectly mature to benefit from the groundbreaking innovations generated by nanotechnology.
