Your clothes Will it glow at night? Do you dream of owning a Phelps' "shark skin" swimsuit? These amazing high technologies rely on clothing The advanced functional fiber materials in the fabric can also be produced by Zhejiang enterprises in the future. Today, Wenzhou Garment Development Co., Ltd. and Italy Advanced Training and R&D Center officially established Sino Italian spin And new material R&D center, which also means that since the company built a textile innovation platform in Italy, the two sides have taken a substantive step in the transformation of R&D achievements.

Not long ago, Wenzhou Garment Development Co., Ltd. invested 30 million yuan to establish a Sino Italian textile R&D center, an Italian higher training and R&D center, Zhejiang University of Technology, Zhejiang Modern Textile Technology Research Institute, Donghua University, Italy BUZZI Textile Technology Research Institute The Italian Institute of Future Textile Technology and the University of Florence and other scientific research institutes jointly participated in the establishment. The total investment of the center is about 45 million yuan, including 10 million yuan from Italy, and 600000 euros from the government of Tuscany.

At present, the platform has gathered more than 200 R&D personnel and implemented the first batch of Sino Italian cooperation projects. The project "Joint Research and Development of Advanced Functional Fiber Materials and High Quality Technologies for Textile and Garment" of Wenzhou Garment Development Co., Ltd. is well underway. The 2013-2015 Sino Italian science and technology cooperation project "Joint Research and Development of Key Technologies for Composite Spunbonded Spinning and Spunlaced Ultrafine Fiber Nonwovens" jointly declared by the Italian Institute of Future Textile Technology and Zhejiang University of Technology has been approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and will be implemented soon.

It is understood that the platform will focus on the research and development of new materials, energy-saving and environment-friendly products and processes, strengthen product quality and safety management and promote the free circulation of goods, establish Sino Italian joint product quality inspection and certification laboratory as the strategic goal, build a large platform for scientific and technological innovation integrating technology transfer, innovation incubation, joint research and development, and become an important place for Sino Italian technology exchange and transfer Zhejiang textile enterprises are an important position for overseas entrepreneurship and innovation and an important base for gathering innovation resources and promoting the return of Zhejiang merchants.

"Building the laboratory in Italy will strongly promote the transformation and upgrading of Wenzhou textile enterprises." Xu Yunxu, chairman of Wenzhou Garment Development Co., Ltd., believes that Wenzhou garment brands, together with 50 enterprises and more than 800 member enterprises of Wenzhou Garment Chamber of Commerce, will actively seek brand upgrading and innovation through the platform. Next, it will also take this opportunity to build a new online interactive platform for textile technology.

Luca Marco Linforszi, President of the Italian Center for Higher Education and Research, said in an interview with our reporter that China and Italy are both major textile countries in the world, and in recent years they are both facing difficulties in industrial transformation. The rapid development of China's textile industry has broken the original market pattern of the global textile industry, but it is still dominated by processing and production, and independent innovation needs to be strengthened. The Italian textile industry is facing the dilemma of lower domestic and international demand, declining output and sales volume year after year. This cooperation between the two sides will enhance the independent innovation capacity of the industry, further improve the added value of products, achieve industrial transformation and upgrading, and bring opportunities for cooperation and technical exchanges between the garment and textile industries of the two countries.
