5 min read
A first joint initiative between CEMATEX and the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF), in partnership with the World Textile Information Network and MP International, the World Textile Summit is a unique one-day event that brings together textile industry leaders and some of the world's most influential thinkers and policymakers in fields such as economics, trade, technology and sustainability.
The Summit includes confirmed keynote speakers Mr Kofi Annan, former United Nations Secretary General and Prof Barry J. Eichengreen, Professor of Economics and Political Science, University of California, Berkeley, and the event takes place on 21 September 2011, the day before the opening of ITMA 2011.
The Textile Dyestuff and Chemical Industry Leaders' Forum is scheduled to be held on the mornings of 25 and 26 September 2011 at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via. Currently, the China Dyestuff Industry Association (CDIA), Dyestuffs Manufacturers' Association of India (DMAI), Indian Speciality Chemical Manufacturers' Association (ISCMA), Latin American Federation of Textile Chemists (FLAQT) and Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC) have confirmed their participation in the forum technical committee, which will chart the direction of the discussion.
Participants at ITMA may also gain a deeper understanding on technical textiles at The Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI)'s Advanced Textiles forum, which will be held from 26 to 27 September 2011.
Topics to be covered by leading industry experts include an overview of the technical textile market and demands and challenges, an examination of specific end market needs such as performance apparel, bio-hazard/extreme environment and electronic interactive materials as well as digital signage and complex materials applications. Delegates will come away with a new perspective on the industry's state-of-the-science advancements in technical textile applications.
Launch of comprehensive global roadshows and presentations
Since February this year, MP International has embarked on extensive roadshows and presentations to key countries across Europe, the Americas, North Africa, Middle East, India and Asia.
Central to the promotional campaigns are establishing partnerships with leading industry associations and buyer groups from the key industry segments, and establishing rapport with government officials from key textile and garment manufacturing countries.
During these visits, the team gives detailed presentations to invited guests in each of the major cities and schedules personal visits to meet with leading members and influencers in the textile and garment industry.
The response from major textile and garment manufacturing markets in the Indian sub-continent which include Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, has been very positive, and plans are underway to organise visiting and buying delegations to ITMA 2011.
In the coming months, MP International will be meeting more textile and garment professionals and trade associations in key markets including Argentina, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam.
The exhibition will be held from 22 to 29 September 2011 at Fira de Barcelona Gran Vía, Barcelona, Spain.
