The 25th Bangladesh Edition of the Textile Series of Exhibitions opened on 2nd September, Wednesday at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Exhibition Centre (BCFEC) in Purbachal, Dhaka, bringing together textile and garment manufacturers, buying houses and technology suppliers from around the world as the industry pushes further into automation and digital manufacturing.
The four-day event, running through September 5, is organized by CEMS-Global USA, a multinational exhibition and convention organizer with operations spanning multiple continents. Organizers said Bangladesh’s next phase of growth in the sector will hinge on productivity gains, diversification, sustainability and the adoption of artificial intelligence and data-driven production systems, as automation reshapes global apparel manufacturing.
The exhibition is expected to draw factory owners, production managers, merchandisers, sourcing professionals, engineers, designers, importers, distributors and international suppliers, offering a platform for business discussions, sourcing deals, technology evaluation and cross-border collaboration. Five international seminars are being held alongside the show floor, gathering industry experts, technology providers and policymakers to discuss innovation, emerging technologies and future industry trends.
A new Digital Transformation Zone at Hall B is being introduced this year, showcasing digital machinery, automation systems and technology solutions aimed at boosting productivity and operational efficiency across the textile and apparel value chain.
