The second edition of the event will bring 100+ participants including manufacturers of garments, fabrics and accessories from around the globe including India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka, under one roof where they will explore business opportunities.
Representatives of Indian retailers and brands, international retailers and brands working in Indian market and buyers from traditional markets like USA and Europe, as also the non-traditional markets like China, Japan and Australia are expected to visit the show.
The BGMEA delegation comprising RMG exporters from Bangladesh will conduct business meetings with different clients, including textile, apparel, and footwear industry leaders.

BGMEA President Faruque Hassan said Bangladesh and India have immense scope to derive mutual benefits by complementing each other for the development of apparel and textile industries of both neighboring countries.
“India is a promising export market for Bangladeshi garments. Our RMG exports have increased by 51.13 per cent from $368.09 million in 2020 to $556.29 in 2021. On the other hand Bangladesh imports yarns, fabrics, dyes, chemicals and other raw materials,” he said.
