The Spectacular Showcase of Textile Innovation on Friday 14 and Saturday 15 June at the University of Huddersfield and the Textile Centre of Excellence will shine a spotlight on the incredible scientific and creative innovation taking place in the textile industry today. Scientists, businesses and artists are continually exploring how to make the industry more sustainable and environmentally friendly and this is your opportunity to find out how.
