Sweden to explore smart textile opportunities with India

23/11/2017
The Swedish government is working with Indian viscose stable fibre manufacturer Aditya Birla Group on a project related to smart textiles, according to reports in the Indian media.

The reports say Sweden wants to explore smart textile solutions and strengthen bilateral trade with India. As well as Aditya Birla, Swedish company Domsjö will also be involved. 

“We are keen to explore the possibility of a joint project in smart textiles using viscose staple fibre, cellulosic fibre and pulp as an alternative to cotton,” Sven-Erik Bucht, Sweden’s minister for rural affairs, was quoted as saying. “The Birla group is a natural fit with its easily blendable cellulosic fibre. Together, we need a broader approach to address the challenge of climate change.”
