Innotex Space is jointly organised this year by the Department of Science and Technology Development of China National Textile & Apparel Council (CNTAC) and the Hong Kong Research Institute of Textile and Apparel (HKRITA). Visitors to Innotex Space will learn how HKRITA can benefit their organisations, says CEO, Edwin Keh.

“We will showcase our research capability and award-winning technologies that can help industry players produce value-added products and gain a competitive edge in the global market.”

Some of the innovations on display from HKRITA include Nu-TorqueTM  cotton yarn production technology, a fabric touch tester, high-performance running wear and cycling wear, an advanced functional clothing and functional design CAD technologies, and melt spinning-produced shape-memory fibre.

While CNTAC will present new textile processing technology, eco-textile dyeing and finishing technology, energy-saving textile production technology and a range of cutting-edge materials. This zone also contains a Technology Information Exchange Area where interaction between industry participants can take place.

Running concurrently with this fair are two other events: Yarn Expo Autumn and PH Value (formerly known as the China International Knitting Trade Fair) which are also located in the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.
