The 11th edition of Intex in Bangladesh was held from 22-24 June 2023, in Halls 2 & 4 at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB) in Dhaka.

I. Hossain, President, BGBA and from India Mr. Vishwanath Agarwal, Chairman, PDEXCIL and Mr. Murali Balkrishna, Jt. Director, TEXPROCIL. The Hon’ble Minister, Mr. Golam Dastagir Gazi stated, “Intex Bangladesh is a very important show. I have visited them since 2019 and I know it will provide access to high quality products which will take the industry forward.” The opening ceremony was well attended by senior officials from the Government, heads of industry bodies, diplomats from the High Commission of India, Embassy of Russia, Embassy of Indonesia, the Thai Trade Centre, High Commission of Nigeria, New Delhi; Embassy of Turkey, industry leaders and delegates from several countries as well as members of the press from Bangladesh and South Asia. On the occasion, special guest Mr. Faruque Hassan, President, BGMEA said, “I congratulate Worldex for their continuous success in organising the fair in Dhaka since 2019. Intex plays a significant role in helping Bangladesh source quality materials from major markets.” Also, Mr. Mohammed Hatem, Executive President, BKMEA remarked, “Intex perfectly understands Bangladesh’s requirements. Exports to India have grown and we look forward to more collaboration between India and Bangladesh through this platform.” This year, Intex Bangladesh hosted exhibitors from 12+ countries including India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Russia, Belarus, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Austria and the UK that were spread across two halls at ICCB. More than 75 Indian companies exhibited at the show with two pavilions being formed by The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL) and The Powerloom Development & Export Promotion Council (PDEXCIL) that showcased “Made in India” quality textiles by 40 Indian manufacturers and exporters under them. Mr. Murali Balkrishna, Jt. Director, TEXPROCIL and Indian Pavilion Organiser said, “Intex offers great opportunities to do business and to increase business specially related to cotton and yarn to support the ready-made garment industry. With growing exports from India we look forward to Intex helping textile companies increase business with Bangladesh.” Mr. Vishwanath Agarwal, Chairman, PDEXCIL, said, “There are great opportunities to do business between India and Bangladesh. Intex helps bridge the gap and strengthens ties to support business growth between the two countries.” While the outlook for the South Asian region as a textile and garment manufacturing hub is positive, the way forward is for South Asian countries to combine their strengths and overcome individual weaknesses by aligning with each other and to increase intra-regional trade to help grow exports. Understanding this tremendous potential, Intex Bangladesh was the bridge to help manufacturers and buyers take advantage of opportunities developing in the region and assist in consolidating the region’s position with all other countries by combining their strengths, joining hands and creating stronger business ties under one trading platform. Some of the leading companies exhibited at the show were Positex/ Pashupati Overseas LLP (Sportswear and Fashion fabrics), Russian Linen (Linen), S.P.

5 Post Show Report VIP Testimonials Mr. Faruque Hassan, President Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) Congratulations to the organizer of Premier International Textile Sourcing Show, 2023. As the apex trade body of Bangladesh representing the RMG sector of Bangladesh, BGMEA joyously associates with Worldex India, which is the strategic partner of Intex Bangladesh. There are significant value chain linkages between India and Bangladesh, particularly in the textile and apparel sector and I believe we can collaborate in this segment more in the coming days. Exhibition like this, will create an unique opportunities to gather all part of the global supply chain under one single umbrella, where there will be knowledge sharing and innovative learning. The capacity of Asian countries in every stage of textile and clothing value addition creates a unique opportunity for excellence in production, quality, fashion and value creation. Particularly, India specializes in the upstream segment, supplying such intermediate inputs as silk, cotton, yarn, and fabrics to Bangladesh. Bangladesh specializes in the downstream final apparel segment, exporting worldwide as well as to India. So our relationship doesn’t need to be competitive rather it can be complementary. It is our pleasure to be a partner of the Intex show which is happening with an aim to amplify the existing trade relationship among the South Asian countries. I wish all the success to the exhibition. Mr. Golam Dastagir Gazi, Hon’ble Minister of Textiles & Jute, Govt. of Bangladesh I am delighted to learn that Worldex India is organising the 11th Intex - The Premier International Textile Sourcing Show in Bangladesh on 22-24 June 2023 at ICCB, Dhaka. I appreciate the efforts taken by Worldex India in bringing international manufacturers and suppliers to Bangladesh to explore business and market opportunities in the textiles and apparel industry of Bangladesh. I am certain that our country’s manufacturers, exporters, brands and sourcing offices here would look forward to such trade platforms to meet with new suppliers, learn about their latest product innovations and offerings, enhance the competitiveness, develop new strategies to diversify their products for international and domestic markets which would further boost our overall production and exports of textiles and garments and also offer value-addition across the supply-chain for the textiles and apparel industry of Bangladesh. As Bangladesh looks to constantly upgrade its offerings as well as look to build its global market share in traditional cotton apparel as well as MMF product range, we look forward to hosting such international trade exhibitions in the country which assists the industry to move forward as a whole. I am happy to learn that Intex will showcase innovative and fashion textile products, services and solutions by leading suppliers from 10+ countries to connect, network and build stronger ties with Bangladeshi textiles and apparel industry across the value chain. I extend my best wishes to the organisers, as well as all the exhibitors and visitors of the 2023 Intex Bangladesh. I wish the exhibitions a great success.
