What is innovation? 

Innovation refers to the process of creating and implementing new ideas, products, services, processes, or methods that result in significant improvements, advancements, or changes in various aspects of life, business, technology, or society as a whole. It involves turning creative ideas into practical and valuable solutions that address specific needs, challenges, or opportunities. In the textile industry, innovation refers to the development and implementation of new ideas, technologies, processes, materials, and products to bring about positive changes and advancements within the textile and apparel sector.
