India’s most comprehensive exhibition
on garment and textile manufacturing – Gartex Texprocess India is all set to be
launched as a ‘hybrid’ event in 2021. A significant event in the textile trade
calendars, the 2021 edition will be held alongside yet another premier fair for
screen, textile, sublimation and digital printing technologies – Screen Print
India, thus bringing the entire textile value chain together for business
through their new hybrid format.
In conjunction
with MEX Exhibitions Pvt Ltd, Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India Pvt Ltd
announced that Gartex Texprocess India will be the first textile sector
exhibition to take the hybrid route. Scheduled alongside Messe Frankfurt’s
Screen Print India fair after a hiatus of one year due to trade and travel
disruptions caused by the pandemic, both Mumbai and Delhi editions aim to bring
the entire textile value chain together through their new co-located and hybrid
formats.
A year after
textile and printing sectors were hit by unprecedented business challenges, the
much-awaited Mumbai edition is set to bring industry players face-to-face with
new opportunities from 18 – 20 March at the Bombay Exhibition Centre. However,
with the on-going travel restrictions that are still in place globally, the
new-age multimodal exhibition will allow screen printing and textile sector
exhibitors and visitors to take full advantage of both physical interactions
and virtual networking opportunities.
The
hybrid format for both the fairs are being specially curated by the organisers
with live product demonstration features to allow exhibitors to showcase their
innovations and new product range to buyers who may be unable to attend the
physical fair, thus ensuring dual access to trade opportunities.
A first for the Indian subsidiary, Mr Raj Manek, Executive
Director and Board Member, Messe Frankfurt Asia Holdings Ltd shared: “We are
delighted to announce our first hybrid venture for the co-located shows –
Gartex Texprocess India & Screen Print that will offer an intelligent
combination of digital and physical interactions for business exchange. The
textile and printing businesses thrives on the ‘touch-and-feel’ aspect of
networking which makes the physical trade fair the number one choice for
buyers. However, its virtual features will be the perfect extension to expand
exhibitor visibility and networking opportunities with buyers.”
Highlighting the synergic effects, Mr Gaurav Juneja, Director, MEX
Exhibitions Pvt Ltd added: “The demand to meet in-person for business
networking is strong and I believe the hybrid format together with its
co-location with Screen Print India fair will create the perfect business
synergy for the sector. We are looking forward to welcoming the entire industry
for a successful first hybrid edition and are confident it will provide
multi-fold trade opportunities to the sector.”
New Delhi edition
of Gartex Texprocess India & Screen print India rescheduled to August 2021:
In order to keep the trade momentum
going in the second half of the buying calendar, the organisers have also
confirmed that the New Delhi edition of the co-located fairs (initially slated
in December 2020) will now be rescheduled to 6 – 8 August 2021 at Pragati
Maidan with its new hybrid format.
Both Mumbai and
Delhi editions will allow fair visitors to explore a wide range of features like
targeted business matchmaking, real-time video calling, scheduling meetings in
advance, live knowledge sessions through the digital platform alongside the
traditional physical event.
