SmartX – The European Smart Textiles Accelerator

Smart X should boost smart textiles innovation in Europe with a specific focus on developing full smart textiles manufacturing value chain in Europe to help drive promising prototypes faster to market.

During the 3 years project, we will launch 3 funding calls expecting to support up to 40 individual projects with total funding of € 2.4 million.

In addition, all supported companies will receive free coaching by project experts on how to overcome the main obstacles for commercialisation of their smart textile innovations.

The SmartX project has a consortium of 13 partners from 7 European countries. It was a pleasure to get together with Centexbel, Up-tex, Steinbeis Zentrum, CITEVE, IFM, Sourcebook, DSP- Valley, CITC, DITF, TEXFOR, POINTEX, and Smart Textiles at the project kick-off meeting in Brussels on 3^rd May.
