Another objective of the understanding is to promote direct or joint venture investments from Taiwan to Bangladesh in non-cotton textiles, high-end garment items, technical textiles, woven textiles and garments, skills development, and innovation.

As per the understanding, Taiwanese companies will also work under this umbrella to share their expertise and technical know-how with Bangladeshi companies.

It will also facilitate collaboration between industry and academia to identify areas of improvement and capacity enhancement and provide with knowledge and skills required to address future challenges.

The collaboration with Taiwan Textile Federation and Taiwan Textile Research Institute will help Bangladeshi apparel companies to have an understanding of the strengths of Taiwanese companies.

BGMEA and the Centre of Innovation, Efficiency and Occupational Safety and Health, BGMEA University of Fashion and Technology, and other universities can be the stakeholders in this research collaboration.

Taiwan Textile Research Institute has around 100 researchers working under that umbrella who can support Bangladesh's apparel industry to understand the future need of the industry and make a plan for the next 15 years' roadmap to improve its capacity, capability in terms of product developments, and other areas.

BGMEA Directors Faisal Samad and Abdullah Hil Rakib, and President of Taiwan Textile Federation Justin Huang, among others, were present at the signing ceremony.
