The Tamil Nadu–Taiwan Technical Textile Partnership Summit, jointly hosted by the Confederation of Indian Industry and the Tiruppur Exporters’ Association, will be held at Le Meridien, Coimbatore, on July 21, 2025. The two-day event aims to foster collaboration in man-made fibres (MMF) and technical textiles between Tamil Nadu and Taiwan.

According to the organisers, the summit will include B2B meetings, technical sessions, and a product showcase. On July 22, an exhibition of ready-made garments made from MMF will be held in Tiruppur, along with discussions between Taiwanese delegates and local manufacturers and exporters.

The organisers said Taiwan’s interest in Tamil Nadu’s textile sector follows recent investments in footwear and electronics. They highlighted the need for India to move beyond cotton-based textiles and expand into winterwear and sportswear, where Taiwan has global expertise.

They added that partnerships with Taiwan’s textile research ecosystem, particularly the Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI), could help upgrade MMF processing infrastructure in the State.

Local textile exporters, manufacturers, and allied industries have been invited to attend.
