The 2019 China International Garment and Textile Fair(CIGF) will reinforce the role of digitalisation in enabling the Chinese textile industry to ‘go global.’ To be organised by the CIGF office of Dalian Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, the fair will be held in Dalia from September 07-09, 2019.
The fair will be based on the theme of ‘Quality Fashion’ and will bring together more than 1,000 clothing businesses from around the world, attracting international apparel executives, fashion designers and experts in the textile industry as well as their Chinese counterparts. A total of six pavilions will be built in the international exhibition zone covering an area of over 4,000 sq. mt. This will include the pavilions of Asia, Europe, Western Fashion, and Western Life; as well as those of Italy and South Korea, choosing to go their separate ways given their high-profile positions in the fashion world.
In terms of domestic business promotion, around 2,500 professional buyers, brokers and dealers from 300 shopping centers in 80 Chinese cities will attend the promotional events and seek to build business connections during the fair. Apart from the business promotion activities, the fair will also unveil three research results.

Besides, a summit on integration of information technology and industrialisation for China's textile industry will also be held during the fair. It will focus on international trade trends, as well as the textile industry's contribution to the industrial internet, exploring the application of AI and 5G technology in the garment and textile business, in order to further promote information-sharing among related business entities.
