Ariadna Detrell, Cluster Manager at AEI Tèxtils, presented the organization during the first session, dedicated to introducing the different participants of the masterclass.
10 experts from the cluster are taking part at the masterclass, 3 staff members and 7 representatives from SMEs.
With the participation in this initiative, the cluster aims to increase its knowledge on market and technological trends about smart textiles and to upgrade our skills to uptake latest innovations that can be used to foster developments and to facilitate reaching the market.
AEI Tèxtils’ experience on smart textiles started three years ago, with the leadership of CONTEXT, a European network of experts in the field of advanced textile materials set in the framework of Cost Programme.
Now, the cluster is supporting 5 projects of its members which are developing smart textiles’ prototypes: E.CIMA, CINPASA, ARPE, C.P. ALUART and POLISILK.
AEI Tèxtils also collaborated in the edition of five state-of-the-art reports developed by CONTEXT network and related to advanced/smart textiles in healthcare and medicine; automotive and aeronautics; personal protection; building and living and sports and wearables.

AEI Tèxtils is a non-profit association, which has the aim of joining all Catalan companies and organizations related directly or indirectly to the advanced textile materials sector and which form a specialized productive area with competitive advantages.
The group formed by companies and organizations which support their innovative potential, set up the advanced textile materials cluster of the region, to which the Textile Innovative Business Grouping gives legal status.
It is not an association with new objectives, but an adaptation to the current legislation and to the philosophy and praxis of the new structures which have come up in the European environment.
