Considering the necessity of innovation in the country’s textile and apparel industry,
Bangladesh Textile Today and Centro Tex Ltd signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) on Monday to jointly work for the 8th Season of Textile Talent Hunt (TTH).
Textile Talent Hunt 2023-24 will be organised to uplift innovativeness in the industry which is
more relevant amid the present global crisis when the industry is suffering from acute energy
and gas price hike and battling the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war, global inflation and
order shortage, said a press release.
Bangladesh Textile Today and Centro Tex Ltd will work together to make the event
successful for the upcoming transformation of the industry through discovering the future
transformation leaders.
In the Talent Hunt competition, at least 100 selected transformation leaders (TLs) will
prepare their innovation projects through the ‘Practically Tested Transformation Model’
(PTTM) aiming to boost innovation scopes in the industry.
Bangladesh Textile Today Founder and CEO Tareq Amin and Centro Tex Ltd Chief
Operating Officer (COO) Nicolas Anton signed the MoU on behalf of their organisations.
AGM of HR Sayedul Hassan; Aysha Farjana, senior executive of HR, Centro Tex Ltd;
Amzad Hossain Monir, head of Business Development; Md Eousup Novee, general
manager of HR and Strategy; Akhi Akter, managing editor of Textile Today were present at

the textile and apparel industry.
“The TTH event has been a phenomenal success in terms of increasing innovativeness in
the Bangladesh textile and apparel industry”, Tareq said.
“In the 7th TTH season, we did 100 innovation projects engaging 300 professionals and
experts implementing innovations in the industry. The outcome was overwhelming and many
of the innovation leaders are still successfully working in many companies and setting an
example for others through their outstanding leadership”, he added.
“In the 8th season, by taking the support of our partners like Centro Tex, we look forward to
penetrating more into the textile and apparel industry and engaging more factories to solve
more practical problems. We want to drive this innovation journey deeper creating more
impact”, Tareq Amin concluded.
