May 11 and 12 are to be marked off on the calendar for professionals in the denim industry. This is when the Bangladesh Denim Expo will next be held in Dhaka, at the Radisson Blu Water Garden.

The expo aims to show the country's growth potential in the denim industry and to offer buyers a one-stop platform for all aspects of jeanswear. Bangladesh is the second largest exporter of jeans to the EU, after China, and the third largest exporter to the US.

The expo itself is a non-profit enterprise, with an aim to not just promote the denim trade in Bangladesh, but also to encourage better business practices to raise the living standards of the Bangladeshi people. A seed fund for a Denim University in Bangladesh will be started with any surplus funds from the show.

The expo will feature a number of seminars and the 25 exhibitors include manufacturers, exporters and dyes & specialty chemical suppliers, as well as accessories manufacturers.
