Industry Leadership
for the Platform
European
Technology
Platform for
the Future of
Textiles and
Clothing
ETP Industry Leadership – current
status
-
Industry leadership in GC is a great plus, but how
connecting/multiplying are the individual members
-
Industry involvement at operational level (TEG’s etc.) is weak
-
Industry involvement in EU research projects is improving,
but true industry leadership is still rare
-
Industry involvement differs greatly by country
-
Industry awareness/commitment to ETP at top management
level is way too low
-
The current economic situation does not help
-
Compared to other ETP’s our perceived industry leadership is
medium
Industry commitment & leadership is the n° 1 condition
for continued ETP success
European
Technology
Platform for
the Future of
Textiles and
Clothing
ETP Actions that could stimulate
more industry involvement
Examples:
- training courses for industry on advanced technologies
& materials
- exploiting the TEPPIES system for brokerage of
industrial research projects
- EU project results dissemination which really reaches
the industry
- developing content for www.textile-platform.eu which
is valued by industry
- Industry-oriented workshops with related
sectors/platforms
- Finding ways to collect regular input/guidance from
industry for desired ETP actions.
European
Technology
Platform for
the Future of
Textiles and
Clothing
From industry involvement to
industry (thought) leadership
Principles:
- Collecting industry input (“thoughts”) in a broad &
coordinated but also quick & cost-effective way –
Where? How? By whom?
- Review & prioritise ideas & decide on actions in a
collective & transparent way to avoid individual
“actionisme”
- Provide wherever possible timely & concise feedback
on new actions undertaken & results achieved
- Define 1 committed industry champion (supported by
Sherpa) for each action

Industry Training Actions
Principles:
– Duration: 1,5 - 2 days max.
– Content: very focussed, very practical, but at
highest technical level
– Trainers: internationally leading academic ,
technological and market experts in the
subject domain concerned
– Academy style (modular, certifiable)
– Location: held in research institutes with
relevant technology pilot facilities, not
universities (industry more familiar institute
environment)
European

Industry Training Actions
Principles:
– Mix of group sessions and individual sessions
– Training language English, local language translation
only in cases of exceptional need.
– Funding: self-funded through participation fees
(possible start-up support through public funding
opportunities to be investigated)
– Recording of training sessions and provision of training
material in electronic or print format as well as their
access options (ETP website, on-line training platforms,
web broadcasting) to be investigated

Textiles and
Clothing
Industry Training Actions
Subjects:
– Selected subjects of high-industrial relevance
(taking into account local industry state of
the art and develeopment)
– Possibly structured according to the TEG
structure of the Technology Platform. Initial
selection of 2 topics per TEG.
– Starting point could be the availability of pilot
facilities and technological experts within
Textranet institutes (to be discussed)
European

Next Steps
- Agreement on long-list of subject proposals
between Textranet & AUTEX
- Consultation with industry, selection of subjects
short list
- Identification of trainers and training facilities
- Further discussion on organisational details
- Launch of first round of 2-3 pilot training sessions

EU Funding & Dissemination
Services
European
Technology
Platform for

Clothing
EC Funding
- EC call for collaboration projects
between different ETP’s
- Several opportunities exist to work
with NanoFutures, EU-Mat and the
Consumer Goods ETP’s
European
Technology

Clothing
Project Dissemination Services
General idea:
- Leveraging the power of the ETP network to organise
more effective project dissemination actions with more
industry-reach for all ETP textile research projects
Concepts:
- Clustering of related projects
- Develop privileged cooperations with established
conferences, trade fairs, trade magazines, publishing
houses, national industry federations etc.
- Support projects with production & placement of
dissemination materials
Ultimate concept:
- Projects pay a small sum (subcontract ETP) for
dissemination services and thereby strengthen the
network to which they partly owe their existence and
which ensures future projects (= beneficiaries pay!)
European
Technology
Platform for

Textiles and
Clothing
Project Dissemination Services
First Steps:
- GC decides in Oct. 2008 to pursue this concept
- Some consultations with individual projects
(response generally positive)
- ETP Conference 2009 as successful pilot test
- Collection of full set of project summaries,
update of project database at www.textileplatform.eu
- Dissemination service concept developed in
more detail throughout 2009
- Meeting with project coordinators – proposed
date Tue 15th Dec. 2009 in Brussels
