Note from our Chairwoman
“Textile is a basic necessary of life. Everyone encounters it daily. It is all around us.
When people think of textiles, they often immediately think of clothing, but it is much more than that. We sleep under it. We walk in it. It is used in homes for insulation, but also for reinforcing dikes. It is one of the largest industries in the world.
An industry that is constantly evolving and playing an increasingly important role in contemporary developments in innovation, sustainability, and the environment.
That is why we find it important to support and promote education in all aspects of textiles.”
