The initiative is intended to promote the textile-apparel fashion sector by extending traditional trade show activities to the digital world, including marketing, contents and promotions, making it possible for companies and their clients to stay up to date year round.
Revenues of the Italian textile sector rose 4.7 per cent in 2019. The year 2019 was a difficult one for the sector. This year does not present itself with the best hopes, weighed down by the Chinese epidemic and drought and fires in Australia.
