Textile Factory 7.0 To Open In Germany

ITA, the Institute of Technical Textiles at RWTH Aachen University in Germany, and its partners, have received approval for the establishment of a new technology and development centre in Mönchengladbach, Textile Factory 7.0 (T7).

The goal is to explore advances in energy efficiency, AI/robotics and biotechnology within a single fully operational textile laboratory focusing on a close collaboration between industry and research partners.

T7 will create new jobs and strengthen research projects aimed at demonstrating the benefits of regional textile production.

Also involved are the Research Institute for Textiles and Clothing at the Hochschule Niederrhein, the Association of the Northwest German Textile and Clothing Industry, the Association of the Rhineland Textile and Clothing Industry, the Textile Academy NRW, and WFMG (Mönchengladbach Economic Development).

A first German language-only event will be held at the T7 on March 19^th with a focus on four key themes – On-Demand Manufacturing, MicroFactory Engineering, Digital Textiles and Biosphere. Registration can be made here.

The project is being funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR).
