The industry cluster for the Norwegian fashion, sport and textile industry. We mobilize business, innovation partners, education and research, to work together to develop a value-creating and sustainable future. NF&TA mission is to develop initiatives and collaborative projects that will enable companies to develop and grow in a sustainable and profitable way. We have a broad partnership nationally and internationally, and work closely with the authorities and the policy instruments. The fashion and textile industry is the world's 4th largest value creator and is considered among the most polluted industries in the world. Developing a sustainable and circular fashion and textile industry is necessary. It involves innovation in business models that create value, based on new design and production processes, circular systems, and utilization of local value chains including raw materials and material development, and local production.
