The Textile Innovation Expo-2026 will be held at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) in Dhaka from 12 to 14 November, aiming to position Bangladesh as an innovation-driven manufacturing destination.
The organisers disclosed the information at a press
briefing at Pan pacific Hotel in the capital on Monday.
The Expo is organised by Textile Innovation Exchange
(TIE), co-organised by Textile Innovation Center, with ITET, BKMEA and BGBA,
and implemented by Textile Today Innovation Hub (TTIH).
The press briefing was attended by Md Enayet
Hossain, president of ITET Bangladesh; Imran Kader Turjo, director of BKMEA; Md
Abdul Hamid, president of BGBA; Sumayel Mohammad Mallik, senior vice president of
ITET; ASM Hafizur Rahman Nixon, secretary general of ITET Bangladesh and member
of the TIE Steering Board and Ehsanul Karim Kaiser, chairman of Textile
Innovation Exchange (TIE) and executive chairman of Textile Today Innovation

They said the country’s textile and apparel sector
must move beyond reliance on low-cost labour, energy and mass production, and
focus on innovation, higher-value products and better efficiency to stay
competitive globally.
The Expo will feature four theme zones: Dyeing and
Printing Innovation, Textile Materials Innovation, Garment Automation
Innovation, and Green and Sustainable Technology Innovation. It will also
include Factory Innovation Pavilions, an Open Innovation Area, six technical
