1. Toward Smart Textiles North-East Romania

2. What is our regional goal?
COHESION (INFRASTRUCTURES) + COMPETITIVENESS (R&I) = CONVERGENCE

3. Specialization = R&I for economic transformation
Reconfiguration of industries with critical mass and geographic concentration – as agro-food, textiles and tourism
Diversification of activities in “catalyst industries” – as biotechnologies and TIC
Development of new activities – in fields like environment
Change economic structure based on small added value industries and low level of technology, and development based on cheap cost of the work force and imported raw materials

4. RIS3 North-East structure
Main areas - RIS3
Agro-food
Textile & New materials
ITC
Biotechnologies
Healthy ageing & living
Environment
Horizontal priorities
Develop RDI competences
Support innovative companies
Support cluster and internationalisation initiatives
Technical assistance

5. Toward Textiles industry transformation
Traditional industry with critical mass, significant export, profit margin based mainly on quality, competences for specialized education and research
A digitized and circular industry, integrated in value chains, that valorizes local creativity

6. Innovative smart textile
Innovative Materials
materials with high functionality; eco textile with applications in medicine, agriculture & constructions; “green” technologies for composite materials in furniture & automotive
Circular Industry
bio-refining waste from agriculture to obtain bio textiles; innovative production & processes able to save materials, water & energy.
High tech Processes & Application
Industry 4.0 – integrated & automate machines, solutions for Internet of Things & Internet of Services
New business models
digital fashion, digital printing virtual modeling yarn / fiber and textile products

7. Value chain assessment in North-East Romania
Knitting
Apparel
Existing value chains:
Natural fibers
Innovative materials for protective cloths, for medicine, sports & construction
Value chains to be developed:
