With an eye to the challenges that Industry 4.0 and digitisation represent for the private sector, the DigiTVC project focuses on supporting SMEs by diagnosing the digitisation of their processes and the introduction of three pilot schemes with textile companies and technological start-ups.

In order to contribute to the circular economy, sustainability and eco technologies, AITEX focuses some of its research on research into the revaluation of textile waste.
