Here are the comments from Kaisa and Antti regarding NZ TEX GROUP joining Spinnova’s ecosystem to support the industrial scaling of the fiber. 
We view a textile manufacturer joining the partner network as a minor positive step on the commercialization path, as it strengthens the fiber processing chain all the way to the finished fabric. However, it is very challenging to estimate the impact of this news on the duration or difficulty of the commercialization path for the remaining first industrial project.
