Uzbekistan is strengthening its status as a Central Asian hub for the textile and fashion industry, overcoming the challenges of global trade and logistics thanks to decisive government measures: the creation of the Light Industry Development Agency with a $200 million fund and the announcement by the President of the country of “Shock 100 days” of support for the industry. Along with efforts by the textile business community to diversify production, these steps are aimed at modernizing production, expanding exports and gaining a foothold in the European and US markets. In this context, the holding ofGlobal Textile Daysin September takes on particular relevance: the synergy of the CAITME and TextileExpo Uzbekistanexhibitions opens up unique opportunities for domestic manufacturers - from studying the latest technologies and equipment to promoting their own products on the international market.

The CAITME platform is the main national exhibition project in the field of equipment for one of the most important and export-oriented sectors of the economy, the textile and clothing and knitting industry - this is a unique international technology exhibition in the region.
