The Career Development Center (CDC) of BGMEA University of Fashion & Technology (BUFT) convened a seminar on July 12, 2026, bringing together industry experts, academics and students to examine how nanotechnology is reshaping the textile and spinning sector. Titled “Nanotechnology in Spinning: Challenges and Future Prospects,” the event underscored growing efforts within Bangladesh’s academic institutions to align classroom learning with the technological demands of the country’s textile industry, a sector that remains central to the national economy and export earnings.
The keynote address was delivered by Dr. Engr. Md. Mominul Motin, known professionally as Tusher, Executive Director of Mondol Spinning Mills Limited. He walked attendees through the latest applications of nanotechnology in spinning operations, touching on how nanoscale materials and processes are being integrated into fiber treatment, yarn strengthening and quality control. His remarks also addressed the practical challenges manufacturers face when adopting these technologies at scale, including cost barriers, the need for specialized equipment and the technical training gap among existing workforces. He further outlined emerging trends in the field and pointed to opportunities for innovation that could position Bangladeshi spinning mills more competitively in a global market increasingly oriented toward sustainable and high-performance textile production.
Complementing the keynote, Mr. Md. Maruf Hossen, Manager at Mondol Spinning Mills Limited, offered a ground-level perspective on how advanced technologies are being adopted within day-to-day spinning operations. He spoke to the evolving skill sets that modern spinning mills now require of their workforce, noting that technicians and operators increasingly need familiarity with automated systems and precision materials handling alongside traditional spinning expertise. His comments were framed around practical insights drawn from operational experience, giving students and faculty a window into how theoretical advances in nanotechnology translate into shop-floor practice.

Prof. Dr. Engr. Ayub Nabi Khan, Vice-Chancellor (Designate) of BUFT, attended as Chief Guest and used his remarks to emphasize the importance of innovation and research in strengthening Bangladesh’s textile sector on the world stage. He called for deeper collaboration between industry and academia, arguing that such partnerships are essential if the country’s textile manufacturers are to maintain and grow their global competitiveness amid rising international scrutiny of sustainability practices and production standards. His remarks reflected a broader institutional push at BUFT to position itself as a bridge between emerging technology and the practical needs of Bangladesh’s garment and textile manufacturing base.
The seminar drew participation from faculty members, laboratory instructors and students across multiple departments at BUFT, reflecting the university’s effort to expose a cross-section of its academic community to developments in advanced spinning technology. The session concluded with an interactive discussion and question-and-answer segment, giving attendees the opportunity to engage directly with the keynote speakers on technical and operational aspects of nanotechnology adoption.
The event forms part of CDC-BUFT’s ongoing mandate to connect academic training with industry requirements, a mission that has taken on added significance as Bangladesh’s textile and apparel sector faces mounting pressure to modernize production methods and meet international sustainability benchmarks. By exposing students to real-world perspectives from spinning mill executives and managers, the university aims to better prepare graduates for roles that increasingly demand both technical fluency and awareness of emerging materials science. Industry observers have noted that nanotechnology applications in spinning, ranging from antimicrobial finishes to enhanced fiber durability, represent one of several fronts where Bangladeshi manufacturers are seeking a competitive edge as the country navigates its post-LDC graduation trade landscape and heightened global demand for higher-value, technologically advanced textile products.
