Pireta Secures Seed Funding from Rainbow Seed Fund to Advance Smart Textiles

  • Pireta, a UK-based smart textiles company, has secured seed funding from Rainbow Seed Fund

  • The investment will enable Pireta to optimize their core technology and pursue commercial opportunities

  • Pireta's technology adds conductivity to fabrics at any stage without impacting performance, and has applications in various sectors including military, healthcare, and fashion.

      • ProblemTechnology

      "Currently, there is no way to add conductivity to fabrics without impacting the garment's performance, drape, or handle. This limits the applications of smart textiles, especially in areas like wearable technology, where sensors are needed to measure physiological changes."

      Solution

      "Pireta has developed a process that adds conductivity to fabrics at any stage, from yarn to completed garment, without impacting garment performance, drape, or handle. This opens up new possibilities for smart textiles, making them more versatile and applicable to a wider range of industries."
