  1. Boosting collaboration between research centres and industry to enhance rapid industrial uptake of Innovative Functional Textile Structures and Textile related Materials in a Mondial Market Prof. Paul KIEKENSZADAR – CROATIA , 13 May 2012

  2. Project data Coordination Action : FP7-NMP-2011-CSA-5 Grant Agreement no. 290500 Project Coordinator : Prof. Paul Kiekens, UGent Project Duration : 01/01/2012 – 31/12/2015

  3. Consortium We are 26 partners from 16 countries, working together to transfer new functional textile technologies to the industry. 16 partners representing research & training 10 partners representing industry

  4. What do these have in common : Functional Textiles

  5. Functional Textiles are at the CROSSROAD of Technologies Conventionaltextiletechnologies : spinning, weaving,knitting, finishing, … Coating Polymerchemistry Electrospinning Extrusion Nanotechnology Micro-encapsulation Stretchable electronics Interconnectionsbetweentextiles and electronics Sensors Textile-basedelectroniccomponents …

  6. The Mission 2BFUNTEX deals with closing the gap between research and industry in the field of functional textile structures and textile related materials • exploiting the untapped technological potential • fostering a multidisciplinary approach  faster industrial uptake

  7. What will be created ? A Websitewithinteractive database and information system : www.2BFUNTEX.eu A meeting place forproject ideas & partner search A training materials database foruniversities and industry and a web basedlearning platform Multidisciplinary project teams  to support transversal research to close the gap betweenindustryneeds and availabletechnologies Conferences, workshops (forSMEs), brokerage events, training courses, …

  8. www.2BFUNTEX.eu = market place for all stakeholders involved in functional textile structures and textile related materials platform for current and future actions in research, education and technology transfer to industry

  9. www.2BFUNTEX.eu = transfer of information to a wide public raise awareness ofthe potential of functional materials increase acceptance of technologies

  10. If you are a research organisation : 2BFUNTEX will help you to present your current & future actions in research, education and technologies related to functional textile materials

  11. If you are a company : 2BFUNTEX.EU will be the place to visit in order to : detect new technologies & business opportunities express your needs

  12. Step 1 Collecting all relevant information related to ongoingand planned research and activities and industrial needs : via internet through information survey/questionnaire via face-to face meetings supported by workshops on innovation management, systems thinking and foresight

  13. Step 2 Development of an interactive database • tool box to find info on status of technology, people involved, contacts, possibilities and limitations • portal for disseminating information and contacting targeted people • links toexisting databases

  14. All information related to functional textiles will be accessible through 2BFUNTEX.eu • Project descriptions & Project ideas • Technologies available • Training activities • Events • …

  15. Step 3 Detection of synergies and gaps and the creation of project ideas Inventory phase overview of gaps and (new and reinforced) synergies  new project ideas • joint research projects • technology transfer to industry create new business in functional materials

  16. Step 4 Training and education to increase the number of well-trained people Development of a modular training course and training materials to be used both for education and industrial training purposes Guest lectures and workshops well trained students and well informed people working in industry

  17. Step 5 Creation of multidisciplinary project teamsperforming research in the field of functional materials and oriented towards industry • enhanced identification of new functional materials • industrial applications of added value functional materials with new functionalities and improved performance creation of new business worldwide

  18. Official launch of the 2BFUNTEX website & database : FALL 2012
