Featuring the third Dhaka Apparel Summit, the Dhaka Apparel Expo, and the Bangladesh Denim Expo, the event represents a major branding exercise for Bangladesh’s burgeoning garment manufacturing industry as it looks to position itself as the first-choice apparel sourcing hub for global fashion retailers.
“In recent years, we have undergone a massive transformation in workplace safety, environmental, sustainability and compliance issues,” says Faruque Hassan, president of the BGMEA. “Our vision for the next decade is to pursue new areas of opportunity, growth, and excellence. Modernisation, innovation, diversification and technological upgrade are vital, as we also prioritise the health, education and wellbeing of our workers.
“The apparel industry in Bangladesh is making significant strides toward sustainable manufacturing and continues to build a resilient ecosystem for the key stakeholders within the supply chain,” Hassan continues. “We believe that sustainability is not only about fulfilling social, ecological and community obligations; it is also about building a strategic coalition among the broader stakeholders toward a sustainable, resilient, modern, fair and equitable supply chain.”
Mostafiz Uddin, founder & CEO of Bangladesh Apparel Exchange (BAE) and Bangladesh Denim Expo adds: “We are breaking new ground with this seminal event. With fashion sourcing teams and other executives facing constant demands on their time, we wanted to provide a series of physical shows, exhibitions, seminars, networking opportunities, factory tours and much more, all in one location over the course of a few days.”
