CNTAC Focus: Sustain, Globalize, Restructure

By Jim.Robinson|September 18, 2011

As equal partners in the supply chain, the cotton and textile industries are so closely intertwined that significant developments in either one can have a dramatic effect on the other.
To discuss that interaction and how leaders on both sides of the equation can work together to improve the business environment for all shareholders, the China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC) will hold its 7th China International Cotton Textile Conference Oct. 15-17 in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, China.
The conference will be held at the Yidu Jinling Hotel and the theme is “Industry Adjustment and Stability – the World and China.” The educational program will feature two major seminars:
1. Cotton Textiles Raw Materials and Market Demand, and
2. Approach to Enhance Core Competitiveness of Enterprises.
Chinese delegates come mostly from key cotton enterprises: big consumers of cotton, cotton yarn and cotton cloth. As senior managers, these representatives are looking forward to meeting and getting the latest news from worldwide cotton and cotton textiles suppliers, offering excellent opportunities to network with old and new colleagues and customers.
The conference program will closely follow the two major subthemes of Sustainability and Textile Globalization and Industrial Restructuring.

Sustainability
• Technology Innovation, Green Production and Sustained Development
• Optimization of Resources Allocation and Industry Transfer
• Application Prospect of New Raw Materials in Cotton Textile Industry
• New Technology of the Global Textile Machinery Industry
• Improving Labor Productivity by Information Technology and Intelligence

Textile Globalization and Industrial Restructuring
• Structure Adjustment and Development Trend of International Textile Industry Chain
• Analysis on Textiles Trade Environment at Home and Aboard
• Transformation from Labor Intensive to Technology and Capital Intensive Development
• A Look into the World Cotton Market and Strategies for Reducing Risks
• The Cotton and Textile Industry in Africa

The agenda also includes post-conference visits to cotton textile companies. Bus transportation to Shanghai can be arranged for delegates who plan to also attend the 2011 Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics event from Oct. 18-21.
Sponsored by CNTAC and organized by the China Cotton Textile Association and the China Textile International Exchange Center (CTIEC), the official language of the seminar will be English, with simultaneous to and from Chinese provided.
