Themed "Re-engineering towards a Resilient, Adaptive and Sustainable Supply Chain", APTEXPO 2025 reflects the industry's urgent need to embrace digitalisation, fair trade, circular economy models, and sustainable innovation. The event will serve as a key platform for stakeholders to share strategies, forge partnerships, and shape the next chapter of global textile and apparel manufacturing.
