Here you can find everything from fiber technology to design and access to the full-scale, modern machinery of the Swedish School of Textiles with knowledgeable technicians. Since autumn 2013, Smart Textiles is part of the unique textile cluster in Textile Fashion Center within the University of Bor\u00e5s campus. There you will also find the Smart Textiles Showroom, where new materials, prototypes and products are displayed. Our Showroom also serves as a meeting place for both business and academia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than half of Sweden&#8217;s entire textile industry, as well as the industry&#8217;s largest logistical points, can be reached within 45 minutes. There are also entrepreneurial trading and logistics companies with old traditions that are willing to invest in new technology. Smart Textiles Partners are at the academic level, University of Bor\u00e5s (HB) and RISE among others. Swerea IVF and Chalmers have established new research on the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technology Lab<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within Smart Textiles it is in the Tech Lab, which it is lovingly shortened to, as innovative technological advances are made thanks to an open and inspiring academic environment. The ambition is to be the natural hub for nordic technical textile development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-2 is-cropped\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/smarttextiles.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/textil-induktion4_x-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"811\" class=\"wp-image-811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smarttextiles.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/textil-induktion4_x-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/smarttextiles.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/textil-induktion4_x-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smarttextiles.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/textil-induktion4_x-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/smarttextiles.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/textil-induktion4_x.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/smarttextiles.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/vattenrening3-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"813\" data-link=\"http:\/\/smarttextiles.rekyl.webfactional.com\/forskning-och-innovation\/vattenrening3\/\" class=\"wp-image-813\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smarttextiles.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/vattenrening3-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/smarttextiles.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/vattenrening3-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smarttextiles.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/vattenrening3-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/smarttextiles.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/vattenrening3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The research is characterized by cross-border collaboration between different disciplines and companies, with a clear objective to develop new generations of textile products.
