UPDATE: Coats Digital MD, Akash Shah, will be speaking at Textile and Apparel SEA – Vietnam Summit 2022 on the afternoon of 27^th October 2022

Textile and Apparel SEA – Vietnam Summit 2022, the most influential textile and apparel summit covering the SEA (Southeast Asia) region, will be held on October 27-28, 2022, in Pan Pacific Hotel Hanoi, Vietnam.

The summit aims to provide an opportunity for industry stakeholders to win textile and apparel business and ensure growth in the SEA Region.

The SEA region plays an important role in the global textile and apparel industry owing to its strong comparative advantages for manufacturers, like market access, low labour costs, investment incentives and existing industrial base, according to the organisers Godiasia.

In Asia, the textile and apparel industry is developing rapidly in Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Bangladesh, India and other countries. The host country for the event, i.e., Vietnam is also witnessing rapid growth and the country currently exports its apparel and textile products to 180 countries. Vietnam’s textile and garment industry is expected to maintain high growth potential until 2035 with an estimated export turnover of about $200 billion, Godiasia said in a pre-event statement.

However, the textile and apparel industry in the SEA region also faces challenges, with the main ones being rising wages, unskilled labour force and international competition.

The Textile and Apparel SEA Summit 2022 will grasp the latest opportunity and trends, together with good practice sharing to accelerate industry upgrade and development. The event will have four themes as under:

• Session 1: Policy, Current Situation and Opportunities
• Session 2 :Sourcing Strategy and Supply Chain

• Session 4 :Smart Factory and Sustainable Development

At the sessions, relevant high-level leaders will discuss the highlights on Policy, Current Situation, Opportunities, Sourcing Strategy, Supply Chain Management, Raw Materials, Production, Technology Upgrade, Quality Assurance and Sustainable Development.
