Business Matters: Leeds City Region and India - Building partnerships to drive textile innovation

Description

In this blog we interview Professor Parik Goswami, Director of the Technical Textiles Research Centre and Head of the Department for Fashion and Textiles at the University of Huddersfield, as he explains how they are driving forward innovation in sustainable textiles and why the time is right for Leeds City Region to be building links with India.

Leeds City Region is the home of textile innovation. It is an industry built on remarkable history and heritage, and one which continues to lead the way in innovation, sustainability and design. Businesses in the region have access to the support and expertise of world-class universities and centres of excellence, giving them the opportunity to develop, create and adopt ground-breaking new technologies, improving their agility and efficiency.

Textiles from this region are globally recognised and the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP) is working to create opportunities for our businesses in key international markets, in particular in India.
