Fostering Innovation and Competitiveness

The TechGrow platforms aim to foster innovation and improve competitiveness within these key sectors by providing companies with the tools they need to understand and adapt to the continuous changes in their industries. In today’s fast-paced technological environment, accurate and timely information is essential for success.

The platforms are primarily aimed at companies and professionals working in the furniture, textile and footwear industries. However, they are also open to anyone who wants to stay informed about the latest trends and technological developments in these sectors, including researchers, designers and innovation leaders.

Outcome of Project TechGrow

These platforms represent a significant achievement of the TechGrow project, reflecting our commitment to providing businesses with the resources they need to stay competitive in an era of digital transformation. Through these platforms, we aim to empower businesses with the knowledge and tools they need to adapt and thrive in their respective industries.

The TechGrow project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme, aims to raise awareness of technology watch processes within the traditional European manufacturing industry. The project is led by renowned European entities: CETEM (Centro Tecnológico del Mueble y la Madera de la Región de Murcia, Spain), CLUTEX (Czech Republic Textile Cluster), CTCP (Centro Tecnológico del Calzado de Portugal) and FEDIT (Federación Española de Centros Tecnológicos).
