A few days ago we participated as speakers in the Masterclass organized by AEI Tèxtils "Transition to advanced textile materials - making it viable" within the FOSTEX Project.
During the virtual presentation, the participants were able to learn more about how LIASA has faced the constant need for adaptation throughout its more than one hundred years of history. In the presentation, conducted by our CEO Jaime Cabré, we talked about some examples of changes that the company has made in the use of raw materials, to technically improve each product and to introduce more sustainable materials in the production process.
The FOSTEX Project is an European collaborative initiative aimed at filling the gap in the area of specialized services for the textile sector, with the establishment of two textile centers in Jordanian universities and the update of two textile centers in Morocco. Its main goal is to promote university-industry collaboration for the development of innovations in the Moroccan and Jordanian textile sectors, generating a local ecosystem of advanced textile materials. The centers will enable access to business development services, such as quality testing, product certification, training, technology trends, production organization, B2B, and funding opportunities for the textile industry of the two countries.
The partnership comprises 13 institutions from 6 different countries – one of those being AEI Tèxtils, the cluster we are members of - representing different parts of Europe and the Mediterranean area. The initiative is co-financed by the Erasmus+ program of the European Commission.
