Approximately 44 exhibitors from seven countries—Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, China, Turkey, Spain, and Italy—will participate in the 17th Bangladesh Denim Expo, scheduled to be held from Nov 04-05, 2024 at the International Convention City, Bashundhara (ICCB) in Dhaka.

These exhibitors will represent diverse sectors including technology, garment manufacturing, fabric production, and washing services. Organised by the Bangladesh Apparel Exchange, the event will gather global buyers, suppliers, designers, and manufacturers to explore the latest advancements in the denim sector.

This year’s theme, ‘The Blue New World,’ highlights a strong focus on sustainable practices and ethical fashion in response to evolving demands in the global apparel market. The expo will feature a range of displays, talks, and workshops centered on key areas such as design, technology, and sustainability within the denim industry.

Additionally, four panel discussions featuring international experts will address critical topics in the ready-made garment (RMG) industry. These will cover resilience in the face of industry challenges, strategies for Bangladesh to lead the global garment market by 2030, the impact of the GSP+ and LDC transition on the RMG sector, and buyer perspectives in Bangladesh’s evolving RMG landscape.
