The ITE Group of Companies has extensive experience in holding international specialized exhibitions in Uzbekistan, as well as organizing the leading industry exhibitions, such as MODA UK, Scoop, Jacket Required, and Bubble London in the UK. The Uzbekistan Textile and Garment Industries Association, which unites more than 7,000 members, will contribute to the joint event through a special governmental decision and state support measures.

It is expected that this partnership will give a new impetus to attracting professional buyers and fans of environmentally friendly textile products “MADE IN UZBEKISTAN”, foreign investments, new technologies to Uzbekistan, as well as will bring up trade relations to a new level.

The event will demonstrate the latest achievements and innovations of the textile business and fashion industry of Uzbek and world leading manufacturers along the entire production chain - from yarn to ready-made clothing.
