CLOTEX-HUB (Ukraine)
About
The European Digital Innovation Hub of Clothing Technology and Textile (CLOTEX-HUB) aims to increase the competitiveness of garment manufacturing products of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Khmelnytskyi region of Ukraine through the digitization of clothing manufacturing and the introduction of innovative technologies. This initiative ensures the product’s entry into the European market, thereby integrating local companies into international chains of creating added value for products and services.
CLOTEX-HUB operates within the ecosystem of a sewing cluster factory, providing high-added-value services for experimentation, access to training, technological infrastructures, and financial support through a dynamic and interconnected ecosystem, firmly committed to becoming a relevant player in the EDIH network and expanding its collaboration outreach to other European regions.
Khmelnytskyi ranks in the top ten for clothing manufacturing in Ukraine, representing over 1,000 registered SMEs. Furthermore, the “Development Strategy of Khmelnytskyi Region for 2021-2027” defines the region's smart specializations as the food industry, light industry, mechanical engineering, and metalworking. In the specific field of light industry where CLOTEX-HUB operates, the designated smart specialization is textile and clothing production.
Although the regional innovation capacity and digitalization intensity are still ranked rather low at the European level, EDIH CLOTEX-HUB will contribute to increasing the efficiency and digital transformation of the sewing industry and machine-building sectors. To achieve this, priority will be given to clothing business entities operating in the Khmelnytskyi region of Ukraine and the implementation of core digital technologies, including Advanced Digital Skills, VR/AR technologies, Artificial Intelligence, and Cybersecurity.
