IDHIMIA is an open, international, non-governmental, non-profit multilateral international cooperation scientific and technological innovation organization with 40 founding members from 17 countries/regions, 22 universities, 12 companies, and 6 public/academic and industrial organizations.
 
The purpose of IDHIMIA is to promote interdisciplinary and transnational technological innovation. IDHIMIA is a textile and material science research platform to cultivate top-notch innovative talents in the field, enhance cutting-edge scientific research capabilities, strive for original major discoveries, and promote the rapid development of international intelligent materials science, intelligent electronic textile products, wearable devices, smart homes, smart cities, digital infrastructure and digital health industry chain ecosystems. IDHIMIA plays a critical strategic role in promoting economic cooperation among countries and regions along the “Belt and Road” initiative.
 
IDHIMIA is interdisciplinary, cross-industry, and cross-country. It is a cooperation platform for joint innovation in the industry, academic research and application in building an international industrial ecological chain of digital health smart materials. It differentiates from pure technical organizations and industrial alliances in a singular field.
