Fedustria: the textile, wood and furnishing federation

FEDUSTRIA uses its wide knowledge of these branches of industry (from production to distribution) to actively support the promotion and development of aesthetic innovation on behalf of companies in these sectors.

Our skills are available to all actors interested by this approach in order to inform and advise them on the countless possibilities offered by textiles and wood:

• a database of producers and suppliers;
• partnerships ;
• technical advice ;
• technological innovations and new materials...

We would in addition point out two specific actions in this context:

• OPTIMO (a platform for dialogue between manufacturers and designers): monitoring trends and innovations, advice with regard to industrial design, organization of conferences (industrial design, product development), ...
• Guichet Textile Transfrontalier pour l'Innovation (Cross-Border Textile Gateway for Innovation) (Wallonia/Northern France Interreg Project): raising awareness of managerial innovation (support for companies in their approaches), services and support for project designers (dossier design, validation of technical/aesthetic/economic feasibility, communication with the organizations, etc.).
