Reflecting the progressive sector, a 23 per cent rise in exhibitor numbers was witnessed at Techtextil India, the biggest technical textiles fair in the country, which opened in Mumbai today. Organised by Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt Ltd, the exhibition is one of the biggest insightful knowledge and product presentation platforms.
 
An industry growing at a CAGR of 20 per cent to reach $28.7 billion, technical textiles is one of the most dynamic sectors in India. Techtextil India 2019, the leading platform to source products using technical textiles, reflects the industry with the biggest opening received this year. India’s first Hackathon for the industry along with Farmer’s Conclave will also be hosted during this edition. Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) also showed strong support to encourage trade and development during the three-day show.
 
“I am proud to confirm that, this year, the biggest Techtextil India, is showcasing 17 per cent surge in exhibition space, 23 per cent in exhibitor numbers and 25 per cent international exhibitors. The show will also host insightful and unique fringe programmes like Hackathon, Farmer’s Conclave, exclusive product presentations, Centre of Excellence and the world renowned Techtextil Symposium. Exhibitors, business visitors and interested stakeholders must take advantage of these highlights as they will open various opportunities to gauge new trends, industry insights and business deals,” said Raj Manek, executive director and board of member, Messe Frankfurt Asia Holding Ltd.
 
To encourage trade and investment opportunities with pioneer companies from 13 nations, MIDC officials will promote government schemes and meet relevant decision makers at the show. Looking at the burgeoning nature of the sector, this collaboration will result in many fruitful domestic and international business relationships with the government. 
 
With an aim to identify solutions to the critical challenges of sustainable urban living, Messe Frankfurt India will host India’s first Technical Textile Hackathon on November 22. The Hackathon titled 'Techtextil Next' will build an eco-system that supports India’s technical textile start-ups and enables them to develop products and prototypes with technical textiles, driving innovations in the industry.
 
Farmer’s Conclave hosted on the first day brought together decisionmakers of the cotton and textile industry, government officials, brands and investors on one platform to address current topics and future scope of cotton in technical textiles and utility of technical textiles in agriculture. The event attracted progressive farmers and focused textile students from multiple states to discuss agenda like use of technical textiles in agriculture to double the income of farmers and the scope of applications for cotton in the industry. The event also witnessed the launch of a unique range of natural coloured cotton garments and first time ever, multi-application of a very special cotton with complete supply chain within India.
