BUTEXCOMP Composite Materials and Technical Textiles Prototype Production and Application Center
The “Composite Materials and Technical Textiles Prototype Production and Application Center” Technical Assistance Project (BUTEXCOMP) is implemented under the Competitiveness Sectors Programme, financed within the framework of financial cooperation between the European Union and the Republic of Türkiye, and carried out by the Ministry of Industry and Technology of the Republic of Türkiye.
The project, implemented by the Bursa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BTSO) and the Bursa Technology Coordination and R&D Center (BUTEKOM), consists of two components: procurement and technical assistance. The total approved budget of the project is €6,151,512.00.
The project aims to support the transformation of SMEs operating in Bursa’s technical textiles and composites sectors, enabling the transition of the textile and composite industries toward technical textiles and composites through a cluster-based approach. It also seeks to increase the competitiveness of SMEs and move them higher within regional, national, and global value chains.
The “Composite Materials and Technical Textiles Prototype Production and Application Center” Technical Assistance Project, which includes the technical assistance component established to operationalize BUTEXCOMP, increase its visibility, and enhance the capacity of SMEs, started on 20 October 2021 and is planned to continue for 30 months.
Establishing a fully integrated cluster in the composite materials and technical textiles sectors.
