Launch of the 2nd call of the European Textile Technology Marketplace ETTMa
April 27, 2012 
After encouraging results of the first call in late 2011, the European Textile Technology Platform is today launching the 2nd call of the European Textile Technology Marketplace (ETTMa). This service should help to more easily, quickly and cost-effectively connect European companies which look for innovative textile technologies with researchers from across Europe which look for industrial evaluation and exploitation of their research results and technology prototypes. The ETTMa service works as an Open Innovation platform with a process similar to the TEPPIES system. The ETTMa service is free of charge and is available to all textile & clothing companies and related research and technology providers based in Europe.
