Within the framework of an European project (Mateo, Intereg IIIC), the university of West Bohemia and the technological centres LEITAT and Centrocot have joined to promote the innovation in the textile Small and Medium enterprises of Czech republic, Italia and Spain. For achieving this objective, they will exchange their knowledge, their prototypes and their concrete ideas on new textiles and particularly in the promising Smart textile area, in order to multiply the number of solutions that could be proposed to the industrial SMEs of each country. The field of Smart textiles is very large and gathers textiles that could change of appearance, think by themselves and/or have the capacity to adapt them to a concrete situation.

One of the first tasks of this consortium is to identify the resources of the companies in order to propose only relevant and particularly viable solutions to the interested companies. In order to help us in this work of technological transfer preparation, it is our pleasure to send you this questionnaire. All the information will be confidentially treated and the catalogue of concrete solutions adapted to your company profile will be available for free on March-April 2007.
