The Futurologist was amongst the first authors to highlight the risks of global warming in the book "Le Macroscope" published in 1975. in particular, he has dealt with reclycling, bio-industry and bio-technology problems associated with the environment.

2 questions to Joël de Rosnay about smarts textiles:

1/ As sponsor for the 2011 event, what does the FUTEX Convention mean to you?

The possibility of focusing on the rapid developments in the area of intelligent textiles and new materials. And also, as far as I am concerned, of meeting profesisonals from the sector, taking part in searching debates and answering the ever interesting questions of participants.

2/ What inspires you about the latest innovations in technical textiles?

There are "ground-breaking" innovations with completely new materials, especially thanks to nano-technology, and there are "progressives" innovations with clothing textiles or textiles for the home. For example, odour-eating or antibacterial textiles.
