Objectives

TEXP@CT aims to leverage textile and clothing companies in the ICT and Production Technologies sectors to higher levels of digitalization and range of technological offerings, respectively. The aim is to increase the level of digitalization of textile and clothing companies, using benchmark companies as anchors; to promote industrial pilots that serve as a beacon for the sector; to increase the number of solutions and technologies available to the sector; to contribute to the volume of exports, through new digital solutions and technologies and, at a more distant level, a stronger textile and clothing industry; and also to help reduce the digital skills gap for the sector professionals. The project is structured into 8 work packages, aligned with the Digital Transformation Strategic Pillar of the Recovery and Resilience Programme (RRP).
 

Expected Results

In total, this pact aims to develop 26 PPS, distributed among the different work packages.
