A delegation from the HelpMeWalk project visited the TechTextil trade fair, which took place in Frankfurt from April 23rd to 26th 2024. TechTextil is the leading international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens. This visit was an opportunity for us to discover the latest technological innovations in smart textiles and to gain inspiration for the challenges we face in the HelpMeWalk project regarding the integration of sensors into textiles and the connection of sensors within the textiles. In particular, Ralf and Manon met a dozen companies that presented proof-of-concepts or prototypes with technical solutions that could potentially meet the needs of our project. One of these companies could become a new HelpMeWalk partner in the near future.
