BGMEA President Faruque Hassan stressed the importance of capacity building within the garment and textile industry along with policy support to tap into the opportunity in the area of producing technical textiles including personal protective equipment (PPE), surgery gowns, masks.
He came up with the observations while speaking at a webinar titled “Exploring Growth Opportunities: Production and Export of Medical and Personal Protective Equipment (MPPE)”.
Business Initiative Leading Development (BUILD), in collaboration with International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Deloitte, organized the webinar on Monday.
Minister of Commerce Tipu Munshi attended the webinar as the chief guest.
Among others, Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce Tapan Kanti Ghosh, Acting Country Manager of IFC Nuzhat Anwar and Chairperson of BUILD Abul Kasem Khan spoke at the webinar.
BGMEA President Faruque Hassan said: “Considering the global demand and the rise in demand for PPEs in post-Covid reality, we have a clear potential to tap into it.”
“Since PPEs of different grades are required to follow stringent technical and quality compliance, especially the medical-grade ones, we need special preparation to cater to this market. We particularly need to develop special skill sets, technical know-how, and make the right investments in backward linkages,” he added.
