Be it high-tech fashion, architectural use of textile materials or a journey through space using virtual-reality glasses: in collaboration with the European Space Agency and the German Aeronautics Centre (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt – DLR), as well as numerous other partners, Techtextil and Texprocess are offering, in the ‘Living in Space’ section, a unique and elaborately staged special display area.
Texprocess, too, will be launching a new feature: for the first time, a ‘Digital Textile Micro Factory’ will demonstrate, live, the workings of an integrated textiles production line, from design to cutting and digital printing through to finishing. 

We cordially invite you to the international press conference of the two leading trade fairs – Techtextil and Texprocess. Join us on a journey to Mars and the infinite expanses of the universe! Discover how technical textiles and their processing have provided a key to the colonisation of space. Thursday, 12th January 2017, 10:00 a.m. (CET). Language: English with German translation.
