ILOILO CITY, ILOILO, REGION VI – The Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI) brings its programs and initiatives to the Iloilo leg of the 2017 Regional Science and Technology Week (RSTW) under the Support to Industry and MSMEs exhibit cluster. Specifically, the Institute opens its premier spinning and finishing facility – the Innovation Center for Yarns and Textiles (ICYT) through a virtual reality (VR) tour. In a nutshell, the ICYT seeks to bridge the gap between agricultural inputs and end-users of textile products, and encourage potential textile developments across the Country.
