Live the INDEX experience at the INDEX Innovation Lab. This special space is aimed at all visitors, from students to CEOs, and includes:
The goal of the Lab is to provide a dedicated space within INDEX20 to showcase innovation and R&D, enable the discovery of nonwovens applications and enhance the understanding of their potential.
Within INDEX's Innovation Lab a section will be dedicated to the display of research posters. The 15 research posters which will be presented at INDEX20 were selected for the Nonwovens Innovation Academy (NIA) 2019 from proposals sent by many young talents in the industry. Their research reflects the potential of nonwovens as a material of choice in a variety of applications.
Another area within the Lab will be dedicated to exhibiting experiments and testing equipment, designed to show some of the incredible properties of nonwovens. Aimed at those visitors perhaps unfamiliar with the innovative qualities of nonwovens, such as newcomers to the industry or students, the idea is to show how their diverse characteristics can be modified to suit a multitude of applications.
Nonwovens are in almost every aspect of daily life and society. To give an idea of the variety, nonwovens samples will be showcased in the lab for a myriad of end-uses:
- Exhibits demonstrating the remarkable properties of nonwovens across a range of applications
- Poster presentations on current research in nonwovens
- Seminar dedicated to nonwovens and the UN Sustainable Development Goals
- Seminars on what nonwovens can bring to the medical, automotive, geotextile, technical textiles and filtration sectors
- Displays of the products and services of the nominees of the INDEX20 Innovation Awards
- Nonwovens tutorials
- Testing machines for nonwovens
