Considering the necessity of innovation in the country’s textile and apparel industry, Bangladesh Textile Today and Centro Tex Ltd signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Monday to jointly work for the 8th Season of Textile Talent Hunt (TTH).

Textile Talent Hunt 2023-24 will be organised to uplift innovativeness in the industry which is more relevant amid the present global crisis when the industry is suffering from acute energy and gas price hike and battling the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war, global inflation and order shortage, said a press release.

Bangladesh Textile Today and Centro Tex Ltd will work together to make the event successful for the upcoming transformation of the industry through discovering the future transformation leaders.

In the Talent Hunt competition, at least 100 selected transformation leaders (TLs) will prepare their innovation projects through the ‘Practically Tested Transformation Model’ (PTTM) aiming to boost innovation scopes in the industry.

Bangladesh Textile Today Founder and CEO Tareq Amin and Centro Tex Ltd Chief Operating Officer (COO) Nicolas Anton signed the MoU on behalf of their organisations.

On the occasion, Tareq Amin said that Bangladesh Textile Today has taken preparations to organise Textile Talent Hunt (TTH) 2023-24 to find out the Transformation Leaders (TLs) for the textile and apparel industry.

“The TTH event has been a phenomenal success in terms of increasing innovativeness in the Bangladesh textile and apparel industry”, Tareq said.

“In the 7th TTH season, we did 100 innovation projects engaging 300 professionals and experts implementing innovations in the industry. The outcome was overwhelming and many of the innovation leaders are still successfully working in many companies and setting an example for others through their outstanding leadership”, he added.

“In the 8th season, by taking the support of our partners like Centro Tex, we look forward to penetrating more into the textile and apparel industry and engaging more factories to solve more practical problems. We want to drive this innovation journey deeper creating more impact”, Tareq Amin concluded.

Nicolas Anton said “It is our duty to help the talents to become future innovation leaders by enhancing their skills and knowledge through TTH. It is a win-win for all the parties involved as manpower in the industry is crucial.”
