An international expo on textile technologies is going to be held at the International Convention City Bashundhara (ICCB), Dhaka from August 31 to September 3.
CEMS-Global USA, an event management firm, is organising the four-day exhibition titled: "21st Textech Bangladesh International Expo 2022".
Meherun N. Islam, president and managing director of CEMS Global, announced the event’s details at a press conference held at the ERF auditorium in the city on Tuesday.
Meherun said the proposed event was supposed to be held in 2020. But it could not be held due to the global pandemic of Covid-19. Instead, a virtual edition of the expo was held in 2021.
She informed that two more associated exhibitions will be held alongside the main expo at the same venue.
