East Africa Textile and Leather Week [eatlw] 2023 Opens with a Grand Ceremony

The highly anticipated East Africa Textile and Leather Week [EATLW] 2023 commenced today with a remarkable opening ceremony at Arabuko Hall, Sarit Expo Center. This three-day conference and exhibition, taking place from June 28th to 30th, brings together key industry stakeholders and thought leaders from around the globe to explore the vast potential of East Africa’s garment manufacturing sector.

The apparel and textile industry in Africa, estimated to be valued at $31 billion in 2020, has become the continent’s second-largest sector after agriculture. With its continuous growth, this industry holds tremendous potential for job creation, particularly for women and youth. EATLW 2023 aims to be a game-changer in the East African textile landscape, serving as the most exclusive meeting platform for the home textile, leather accessories, and footwear industries.

Skander Negasi, Organizer & CEO of Trade and Fairs GmbH, expressed his excitement for EATLW 2023, saying, “EATLW aims to be a transformative event that propels the East African textile and leather industry to new heights. We are thrilled to bring together industry stakeholders and thought leaders from around the world to explore the immense potential of this sector and foster meaningful collaborations. With a focus on sustainability, innovation, and craftsmanship, EATLW is set to shape the future of the region’s fashion landscape.

Featuring 150 exhibitors from East Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, as well as 3,500 wholesalers, retailers, chains, manufacturers, and dealers from East and Central Africa, EATLW 2023 promises to showcase the vibrant fashion, textile, and leather industry of the region.
