The 2020 Smart Fabrics Summit provides a forum for professionals in the industrial textiles industry to discuss, examine and understand how to bring a “smart” product to market. Known as “smart fabrics”, these high tech products have the ability to interact with their user or the environment. Reaching the market with a final product involves many steps from initial concept to market research to intellectual property protection to design and ultimate manufacturing by U.S. companies. The two day event will:
- Bring together industries that need to collaborate in order for the smart fabrics industry to meet its full potential and accelerate its development by U.S. manufacturers
- Spur original thinking among public and private sector organizations how new and existing policies affect future smart fabrics products
- Provide invaluable face to face connections and networking with market specific individuals.
