Material marketplace for designers Swatchbook has announced a strategic partnership with the Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF) to help Taiwanese textile companies digitise their operations.
- Under the agreement, TTF will provide funding for the first year of subscription for textile suppliers who use Swatchbook's platform.
- The partnership aims to help textile suppliers in Taiwan incorporate digital technology into their sample management processes.
The Agreement: Swatchbook’s digital platform enables textile suppliers to collaborate with customers, partners, and other suppliers whilst managing their samples more efficiently and at lower costs.
- Swatchbook, based in California, will enable Taiwanese textile companies to digitise their operations.
- The partnership will help Taiwanese textile companies with tools to expand their global reach and promote their products and services in international markets, increasing brand awareness and expanding their customer base.
- The TTF, which is a government undertaking, has been providing financial support to many programmes within a wide range of activities, such as participating in international trade fairs, organising roadshows and exhibitions, and conducting market research.
Helping Taiwan: Textile companies in Taiwan will be able to take advantage of the growing demand for textiles around the world.
- By providing these textile companies the opportunity to explore new overseas markets, this programme will help them to better understand the needs of their customers in those markets and allows textile companies in Taiwan to be more competitive.
- The core competencies of the Taiwan textile industry lie in its R&D, technology and innovation.
- The industry is constantly introducing its new eco textile developments which combine high-tech, ecology, functionality and life aesthetics.
What They Said:
TTF plays an instrumental role in helping Taiwan's textile industry to maintain its position as a leader in the global textile market, and the partnership with Swatchbook will support this mission by helping textile companies in Taiwan to modernise their operations and improve their efficiency.
