More than 100 entries have been received for the first ITMA Future Materials Awards, which will be held in Dresden, Germany, this November. Celebrating the best in the international technical textiles industry, the awards will be presented at a black-tie event on the evening before the 8th Aachen-Dresden International Textile Conference starts. Launched last year at Techtextil in Frankfurt, the awards will be the biggest event of the year to recognise textile innovation and R&D, marking a celebration of the imagination, determination and collaboration of key players within this fast-growing segment of the industry. The awards are the brainchild of World Textile Information Network (WTiN), an international textile information provider and publisher of Future Materials magazine. Future Materials editor Tara Hounslea said: "We have been delighted with both the quantity and quality of entries received for the inaugural ITMA Future Materials Awards. "Entries truly span the entire industry, from large multinational companies to niche start-ups and individual academic researchers, and covering the diverse spectrum of applications for technical textiles.
