“Textile innovation today spans virtually all sectors and markets and even in regions which traditionally did not have a strong presence of the textile and clothing sector you can find many surprising examples of industrial application of advanced fibre-based materials, high-tech textile manufacturing processes or fashion-inspired creativity. This creates ample opportunity for textile innovation to be linked to Smart Specialisation strategies in many regions, but also an obligation for textile innovation stakeholders to better organize themselves and clearly articulate their research and innovation potential to regional authorities”
Francesco Marchi, Director General of Euratex in summarising the development of Europe's textile and clothing sector in the last years stated “From the depths of the financial and economic crisis in 2009 we have seen a remarkable transformation and re-emergence of this sector across Europe. Industrial turnover has stabilised in the € 160-170 billion range, productivity and exports outside Europe have steadily grown and in 2015 we have even witnessed, for the first time in many years, a small increase of total employment in this industry currently counting some 1.7 million people.” (SH)
