Concept to Commercialization
Date: 29th and 30th April 2026
Time: 2pm - 5pm
Context Setting:
Today, the traditional Indian textile sector faces a combination of structural, geopolitical, and environmental challenges. While the industry is transitioning toward becoming a high-value manufacturing partner, several hurdles—particularly punitive tariffs, stricter global compliance, and energy shortages—are straining its competitiveness.
The need of the hour and immense opportunities in global value chain demands traditional textiles to evolve far beyond traditional fabrics, becoming integral to industries such as healthcare, defence, automotive, aerospace, and fashion. Technical textiles are engineered for performance and functionality, while smart textiles integrate electronics, sensors, and responsive systems to interact with their environment. With growing demand for innovation, sustainability, and wearable technology, professionals need structured training to understand these advancements.
To bridges the gap between traditional textile knowledge and emerging smart technologies CII Centre of Manufacturing Excellence is organising two-day training session to empowers participants to engage with cutting-edge innovations and prepares them for the evolving global textile landscape.
