The ITMF Annual Conference 2023 is co-hosted by the China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC) and the Shaoxing Municipal People’s Government and will feature international industry experts from around the world from along the entire textile value chain – from fibres to retail.
500+ high-level representatives from the entire textile value chain from China and around the world are expected to attend.
Under the general theme “Digitalization & Circularity – Megatrends Shaping the Textile Industry” experts from the industry and academia will shed light on how the textile value chain is coping with these trends and will help better understand the underlying dynamics and identifying the risks and opportunities. In the various sessions, experts will discuss among other topics
• how the fibre markets will adapt to the increasing demand for recycled fibres,
• how the textile industry can reduce the carbon footprint,
• how new technologies will accelerate the industry’s transition towards more circularity or
• how upcoming regulation will impact production around the world.
• Etc.
