The additional and complementary equipment provided to the centres answer specific needs and create synergies among the centres, maximising the installed capacities. A detailed list of the equipment was defined during the project implementation. Main aim of these innovation centres is to support companies of the textile sector through providing advanced and specialised services.

Staff of the participating Moroccan and Jordanian universities was trained in an international environment, accessing the European textile centres involved in the project. In addition, the European partners, as well as the Amman Chamber of Industry (ACI) in Jordan and the Association Marocaine des Industries du Textile et de l’Habillement (AMITH) in Morocco, were deeply involved in the setting up of the centres and in testing their operation.

Besides serving companies of the textile sector, the innovation centres support entrepreneurs who are developing new solutions using advanced textiles, students involved in start-ups, and other relevant stakeholders in the two countries. The business models of the centres ensure the sustainability of the centres in the two countries beyond the project duration.
