The EU-project CREATE PRATO was developed to demonstrate further business opportunities for Italian companies beside the traditional textile establishment in the sector of technical textiles. The nine Italian companies work predominantly in fashion, spacer fabrics, building textiles, dye-works, weaving and spinning. They want to utilise their visit at ITA to become acquainted with technical textiles, to establish contact with new project partnerships and to inform themselves about the possibility to start a new site in Germany.

Dagmar Wülknitz, Project Manager for Italy of the state-owned economic promotion society NRW INVEST GMBH accompanied the visit to show the companies the support of NRW INVEST if they are inclined to start a new domicile in Germany.

All participants appreciated the visit and the knowledge offered hand in hand with a common exchange. The visitors left with the agreement to follow-up through further meetings in the near future.
