The week’s opening ceremony on Wednesday at ICCB will feature senior industry figures and government representatives, highlighting the sector’s pivotal role in Bangladesh’s economic growth and export trajectory. Organisers say the showcases will underline the strength of the country’s backward linkage industries and facilitate networking, technology exchange and business deals that underpin expansion of ready-made garment supply chains.
Bangladesh’s garment industry, which supplies apparel to major global brands, continues to be one of the fastest-growing textile manufacturing hubs in Asia, with these annual expos seen as critical barometers of future trade flows and industry innovation.
