AITEX is already working on the new lines of research funded by IVACE for 2024, which provide high added value solutions and tools for companies to be increasingly competitive. These R&D projects aim to generate knowledge and transfer it to companies in multiple application sectors such as textile and fashion, habitat, health and sport, automotive, construction, cosmetics, etc.
We encourage interested companies to take part in the new lines of research, as it can mean business opportunities to achieve a better positioning in the market.
