In the context of its opening, the CETI - European Center for Innovative Textiles - organizes on Thursday October the 11th 2012, the International CETI Forum, high-level meetings that demonstrate that textile is one of the twentyfirst century's key materials.
It is at the core of technological innovations which benefit all the economical sectors, from the health branch to the transportation area (aeronautics, road and rail), as well as the building and the public works sector, the area of the protection and filtration equipments, of the telecommunications, of the architecture and of fashion. In the context of its opening, the CETI - European Center for Innovative Textiles - organizes on Thursday October the 11th 2012, the International CETI Forum, high-level meetings that demonstrate #
To the initiative of this day, Up-tex competitiveness pole, CLUBTEX businesses cluster and the team of the CETI in partnership with the ENSAIT, HEI, IFTH and CENTEXBEL will welcome – at the heart of the Euroregion «Technical Textile Valley» - more than 400 researchers and company managers (multinational corporations and SMEs), marketing managers, product managers, R&D managers in charge of the industry coming from France, United States, Canada, Japan and all over Europe.
The exchanges on the potentialities of this new platform of multi-sector innovation should enable to imagine revolutionary textile solutions thanks to the new technologies
presented during this day, to invent new fibers and new materials for new uses…
On the program of the International CETI Forum, 3 important moments combined to a guided visit of the new equipments of the CETI and of the brand new exposition FUTUROTEXTILES 3.
New Technologies For New Fibers (9.00 AM - 11.30 AM)
A round table rich of testimonies revealing the issues of the upstream in the sector: issues that are not only the concern of the textile! The fiber, at the origin of everything, will be the under the spotlight of scrunity: What will the new Polymers look like? The big rupture, is it soon coming? As the revolutionary fibers symbolized it in their time (Nylon, élasthanne, Thermolactyl, Kermel and Kevlar), what about the agrobased fibers ? Myth and reality. Which will be the new functionalized fibers and technological solutions with the extrusion and the tri-component spinning of the CETI? Among the participants: TOTAL and its latest works on the PLA, JAPAN CHEMICAL FIBER INDUSTRY and its new developments, ROQUETTE for its industrial strategy, BRASKEM for the bio polymers, HILLS for its high tech equipments.
Management Of The Innovation or how to work together? (12.00 - 01.00 pm)
The CETI is at the core of a leading university, economical and scientific network enabling to accelerate the innovation process (more than 350 researchers of the Euroregion France-Belgium work on the supple advanced materials). This forum will evoke «the CETI spirit « and will reveal an unpublished experience that highlights the collective intelligence of partners around an issue and linked to the teams and equipments of the CETI. To break the oppositions to the innovation, to open, to go from the vertical method to the transversal one…How to adopt new methodologies?
New Technologies For New Markets (2.30 pm - 5.30 pm)
BARRIER EFFECTS : zoom on the isolation and the filtration, 2 transverse markets with a high potential This round table will enable to precisely explore the extraordinary potential of nonwovens thanks to all the solutions the CETI can offer, by the unique modularity of its tools, to today's and tomorrow's essential issues. How to couple textiles with high-level technologies ? How to promote the value chain in action in response to a given issue? Filtration, technique of the future. The latest projects of research in isolation, etc.
Bonus : 2030 Innovative Textile Materials Prospective Study
The participants at the International CETI Forum will benefit from the prospective study presented the day before to the opening of the CETI (under electronic format), realized by the Observatory of the technical Textiles and the IFM with the support of the Chambre of Commerce Grand Lille and the Union of Textile Industries. From an unpublished study associating the professionals of various sectors, how will we live, will we travel, will we get dressed, will we take care of ourselves in 2030 and what will the contribution of textiles be?
