The IAF (International Apparel Federation), BKMEA (Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association) and HCIA (The Hellenic Clothing Industry Association) have tied up for a project on capacity building, network extension and knowledge transfer in Bangladesh.
The project will involve training sessions in Bangladesh along with networking trips to Europe and Bangladesh. IAF’s main focus is on its members and it will be setting up a peer group to which it will invite members with specific interests in the Bangladesh knitwear industry.
The accord was signed at the IAF office in Zeist (Netherlands) by Mansoor Ahmed and Han Bekke, Secretary General of IAF. IAF has got EU funds for the project and as a result BKMEA and HCIA will be able to better service member companies by gaining more international contacts, knowledge and more insights.
IAF is the world’s leading federation for apparel manufacturers, their associations, apparel retailers and the supporting industry. BKMEA is an association of about 1,700 knitwear manufacturers and exporters from Bangladesh that represent the largest export earning sector of the country.
