The competitiveness of the textile and apparel industry relies on the ability to innovate. The Textile & Apparel Manufacturers’ Association supports its members in implementing new ideas, technologies, and processes by providing access to collaboration networks, expert guidance, and funding opportunities.

Innovation-focused working groups, collaborative platforms, and partnerships with universities, research institutes, and development centres help members turn ideas into practical solutions more efficiently. The association also organises inspiring seminars, pilot projects, and discussions on topics such as digitalisation, automation, sustainable production, and green technologies.

Innovation does not always require a major breakthrough; even small improvements can increase efficiency, reduce waste, or optimise workflows. The association believes that every company can be innovative with the right support, guidance, and environment and it works to provide exactly that for its members.
