The pavilion was a major feature at the last ITMA exhibition in Barcelona, Spain, in 2011. It received overwhelming support from the industry. A total of 48 exhibitors from 20 countries took part in the pavilion, which also saw the debut of The European Textile Research & Education Pavilion. The Speakers Platform attached to the pavilion attracted 29 international speakers from 10 countries.

According to Jeroen Vits, Secretary General of SYMATEX (Belgium) who chaired the ITMA 2011 R&E Committee, there was strong participation from research organisations from around the world. The pavilion had the support of AUTEX, the Association of Universities for Textiles, which has 32 members from 24 countries, and TEXTRANET - European Network of Textile Research Organisations.

A memorandum of understanding was also signed with EURATEX – the European Apparel and Textile Confederation - to formalise a stronger collaboration in fields such as research, technological development and innovations.

ITMA 2015 will be held from 12 to 19 November 2015 at Fiera Milano Rho in Milan Italy. Owned by CEMATEX, ITMA is the world’s largest textile and garment technology showcase, which has been held since 1951. The last ITMA exhibition was held in Barcelona, Spain, in 2011.
