The Techtextil Symposium, a parallel event, will offer suppliers, consumers and experts from research, technology and industry a series of lectures, presentations and discussion forums on innovative topics.
The Techtextil Innovation Prize honours outstanding, innovative and unusual achievements in the field of research, material and product development and new technology. In addition, the Student Competition, sponsored by the TensiNet Federation and Techtextil, will honour new ideas and concepts based on the theme 'Textile Structures for New Building'. The public will have the opportunity to see the award-winning work at a series of special shows.
Whether 'smart textiles' featuring integrated electronics or 'intelligent textiles', whose interactive effects are man- and environment-dependent, the Avantex concept consistently focuses on the high-tech when it comes to apparel textiles. As a result, Avantex is the first platform of its kind to offer an interdisciplinary dialogue, whilst simultaneously promoting revolutionary developments and visionary concepts.
The exhibitor spectrum is divided into ten product groups: Research/Development/Consulting, Textile Technology, Fibres and Yarns, Textile Surfaces and Membranes, Textile Finishing, High-Tech in Clothing, Innovative Clothing, Textile Care, Trade Associations and Publishing Companies.
Techtextil exhibitors will fill Halls 3 and 4 with the integration of Avantex exhibition area in Hall 3.1. Both symposia (the Techtextil Symposium and the Avantex Symposium) will be held concurrently at the Congress Centre Messe Frankfurt (CMF).
