Bangladesh is going to host another denim expo in November as the sector received a huge response from the last event in May this year.
The two-day event titled “Bangladesh Denim Expo” will be held on 11-12 November at the International Convention City Bashundhara in Dhaka, said a press release yesterday.
The expo will aim to attract international buyers to the latest designs of Bangladeshi jeans and other denim products.
“There was a huge response from international buyers after the May event, so we have decided to organise another such event in larger arrangements in November,” said CEO of the Expo Mostafiz Uddin.
“In May we displayed products of unique and innovative designs which pleased the buyers,” he added.
Mustafiz said their primary purpose was to create a platform for denim stakeholders and make Bangladesh as one-stop sourcing platform for denim industry, which could bring benefits to the entrepreneurs.
The expo is aimed at not only promoting the denim industry but also encouraging a better business practice and raising the living standard of the people, he stressed.
There will have six seminars on different topics relating to denim industry and its prospects and challenges on the sidelines of the upcoming expo. A “Trend Zone” will be set up to display latest and future denim trends.
About 4,000 apparel entrepreneurs, businessmen, fashion professionals and other stakeholders from 1,200 companies of 60 countries will visit the expo. Bangladesh is the second largest denim exporter to the European market and the third largest in the US market.
About 50 denim manufacturers and enterprises from 15 countries including the US, the UK, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Mexico, Spain, Turkey, Hong Kong, Brazil, Australia, Russia and Bangladesh will take part in the expo.
