According to an article posted by the Smart Specialisation Platform (S3), the Valencian textile industry and the related activities of spinning, finishes, and textile machinery have gone from a situation of survival to one of strategic activity. This is comes as a result of interconnection and cooperation between cluster actors throughout the territory and the initiative of the regional authority. The necessity caused by the COVID-19 crisis generated a virtuous confluence of interests that have given birth to a transformed textile-sanitary cluster. This originated from an unexpected opportunity to promote new lines of business in the textile industry and to guarantee a stable supply of sanitary material, which has now turned into a new strategy.
