2. How does it works: first results Culture des fibres naturelles Machines et équipements Transformation des fibres, chimie des matières Progiciel Production CAO / DAO Régulation Normalisation Filage, tissage, tricotage Création, design, stylisme Prototypage,test, contrôle, mesure Enoblissement Gestion de l eau, de l énergie et des déchets Make-up, couture, confection Composants électroniques et microélectronique s Environnement juridique et légal Distribution B2B, B2C TIC More than 300 EuroMed actors mapped Project / mapping extension to Mashreq countries First matchmaking session: more than 200 BtoB, RtoB and ItoB meetings organised Engagement of EU and Med clusters: UpTex, TECHTERRA, MFC Pole, AMITH, etc. Partnerships with other programs and projects: TexNet & MedaTex, Medibtikar project (www.medibtikar.eu ) SYSTEX, smart textile project, FP7 program (www.systex.org ) 8
Activity 1 : Assess market potential Assess the market potential: EU / MED and condition to access the market : which link between actors on the value chain from research and technology to final market / application No Top down and exhaustive macro study > Bottom up approach: what are the needs in the short term? What are the needs in the middle term? Local? National? International? Then aggregate data's 9
Activity 2 : Mapping actors First step Value chain Model : Why value chain representation? Stakholders from Research Industry / Finance must share a same vision of the sector dynamic. The Value chain model enable Better mutual understanding How the value chain was defined Collective intelligence : steering committee, experts of scientific and validation committee, validation during physical and virtual meetings (Fez, June 2009 & Marseille, October 2009) 10
Activity 2 : Textile Value chain Main segments Support segments Depending on the final market to adress Some segments are not relevant 11
Activity 2 : Mapping : analysis of regional specificities Culture des fibres naturelles Transformation des fibres, chimie des matières Filage, tissage, tricotage Enoblissement Make-up, couture, confection Distribution B2B, B2C Industrie Protection individuelle Médical & hygiène Construction / bâtiment Machines et équipements Progiciel Production CAO / DAO Création, design, stylisme Prototypage,test, contrôle, mesure Gestion de l eau, de l énergie et des déchets Composants électroniques et microélectronique s TIC Géotextile Sports & loisirs Transports Emballage Agriculture Régulation Normalisation Environnement juridique et légal Habillement mode chaussure Aménagement de la maison Egypt EU European Union Morocco Tunisia Syria Turkey Environnement 12

Activity 3 : R2B B2B I2B and innovative project detection Map existing opportunities / project, but we do not wait only for actors to come with innovative project (very few) We detect opportunities, qualify and quantify the opportunities, and then we push them to specific actors and support their initiative. We also brand competencies / not only research results or existing solutions 14
Activity 3 : R2B B2B I2B and innovative project detection How : MMDIP Mutualised Market Demand Intelligence Process, a methodology developed with Cambridge, Sophia etc.. (3 years R&D in innovation management, 3 years demonstration) Analysis of Final market needs then change them into individual / collective innovation and research result exploitation involving main segments and support segments 15
Activity 3 : R2B B2B I2B and innovative project detection Identify the actors that are able to supply a part of the innovative solution to answer the need Then Make the link by organising physical meetings between stakeholders: Research / Industry / Finance 16
Activity 3 : R2B B2B I2B and innovative projects detection Sample of projects Protech market : Police, army,... : new design, new materials (cluster of 4 companies) Sportech using recycled plastics : Large company + suppliers + National grant New distribution channel and customisation : clothes for youth : ICT + textile companies Builtech : Textile and Adverstising on construction site : construction equipement Company + textile company + communication company ICT company and a textile consultant building a ERP / CRM software for Textile company And so on... 17
Activity 4 : Conditions for the industry to switch from traditional to technical application : Added Value Services platform? Measure / compliance > OK But Prototyping? Pre series? For which application / final market? For which research organisation? For which companies? Off shoring? Near shoring. Local south Mediterranean companies? Who will operate? PPP? How to gain the confidence of private sector 18
3. Future TEXTECHMED steps > Prepare the launch of the first Professional Social network dedicated to technical textile in the Euromediterranean Physical <> Virtual Critical mass of opportunities Capitalization of contacts Define a range of Value added services for SME s Equipments : Test, Control, prototyping, pre series, Scale up, and How to operate the service? PPP 19
