14:15 - 17:15 Coffee break and SmartX Workshop
SmartX workshop
organized by Project partners Centexbel, DSP Valley, UP-tex, and CITC.
Start at 14.15h.
SmartX is short for "European Smart Textiles Accelerator". Innovation projects supported through the SmartX Accelerator programme will focus on connecting promising design prototypes and a growing end market interest in smart textiles and wearables.
SmartX is a H2020 project with the aim to boost smart textile innovations and to develop an end-to-end smart textiles manufacturing value chain in Europe to accelerate the marketing of promising prototypes.
During the 3-year project 3 calls for funding are expected to support up to 40 individual projects with a total budget of € 2.4 million.
Join the workshop and
- discover state of the art innovations in smart textiles and electronic systems through expert presentations
- attend a panel discussion with business and research participants
- be inspired by the EU Strategy for IOT & Smart Textiles
- get to know all about how to apply for SmartX support and funding
