OBJECTIVE: Help evolve & accelerate the conception of textile (materials) and fashion products (finished garments) and accessories. IMAGINE THE DESIGN OFFICE OF THE FUTURE THAT WILL ALLOW US TO RETHINK THE VALUE CHAIN COLLABORATIVELY BY PLACING THE CLIENT AT THE HEART OF THE STRATEGY. FROM ANTICIPATING FASHION TRENDS, THROUGH DESIGNING TO COMMERCIALIZATION. Reinforce competitivity by letting us put innovative products or products reinvented by co-creation with consumers into the market faster and help remove the Client/Supplier divide to benefit a long-term, collaborative relationship Capitalize on new types of consumption by using social networks, Internet, mobility and new experiences expected by the consumer. PROJECT DIGTEX WASHABLE, CONNECTED, WIRELESS CLOTHING WITH SELF-SUFFICIENT ENERGY WILL PROTECT PROFESSIONALS IN HIGH-RISK JOBS AS WELL AS MEDICALIZED PATIENTS The objective is to help evolve work garments and medical bedding to become reactive, autonomous and connected to the immediate environment. The collaboration and synergy of the project s partners will create a network of connected fabrics that include textile industry, electronic and signal processing professionals. PROJECT The structure will be set up industrially to integrate research and innovation. The products targeted are professional clothing (including underwear), articles in knit fabrics and medical bedding. The project aims to make these items reactive and connectable and will structure a French connected-textile industrial chain to help improve the value chain. AUTONOTEX The DIGTEX project, validated as a FUI (onetime ministerial investment) and co-financed by the French government and the Hauts de France and Nouvelle Aquitaine regions.
