AGENDA
Lusitano Project – Mobilizing Agenda for Business Innovation in the Textile and Clothing Industry of Portugal
CONSORTIUM LEADER
NAU VERDE, LDA.
AGENDA DESCRIPTION
The Lusitano Project Agenda aims to promote the reindustrialisation of the national Textile and Clothing Industry (ITV) through the implementation of R&D, Productive Innovation, Training and Internationalisation activities that make it possible to bring a crucial part of the ITV value chain back to Europe, specifically the ability to manufacture yarns from recycled and natural fibres, and subsequently new and innovative textile and clothing products with higher added value. The Agenda also aims to promote the competitive transformation of the sector through concerted R&D efforts into intelligent systems, in line with the Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things paradigms, and into effluent treatment and reuse systems, in order to drastically reduce the consumption of water resources. Finally, the aim is to promote and disseminate its results, generating a contagion effect for other organisations.
