Technology as a Foundation

Textile is all about technology – and it goes far beyond just clothing! You'll learn how textile materials are created, from raw fibre to finished fabric, and all the possibilities they offer.

Commerce and Fair Growth

Textile production happens all around the world, often in developing countries. We dive into the supply chain and investigate where products come from. We also calculate labour costs and evaluate choices for production countries. With this knowledge, you'll be able to choose solutions that ensure fair wages and ethical working conditions.
