The other major sourcing countries will be back: India, Bangladesh, which will have a pavilion with a dozen or so very sportswear-oriented companies, and Ethiopia, which will be showcasing the know-how of local companies in knitwear.

Reflecting current trends, recycled textiles will be discussed during a round table on the assets, challenges and promises of this market (Monday 4th July at 2pm). The Bali Chair, which has been mobilising players in the sector since 2017, will report on its research into the new challenges of the fashion industry in terms of circularity, transparency and agility (Monday 4th July at 3.15pm).
