On August 6th and 7th, 2025, MUTA proudly collaborated with the renowned INTEX South Asia Exhibition, South Asia's leading international textile sourcing platform, to host two insightful panel discussions that brought together industry leaders, professionals, and emerging talent. As one of the region's most influential textile and apparel exhibitions, INTEX South Asia continues to foster innovation, collaboration, and business growth by connecting global suppliers, manufacturers, and buyers under one roof.

This year's panel discussions focused on two timely and thought-provoking themes shaping the future of the apparel industry:

Apparel 2030: Re-stitching Fashion's Next Chapter
Trust Over Trends: Building Brands Consumers Trust

Distinguished industry experts and MUTA representatives shared their perspectives on the transformation of the apparel sector, highlighting the importance of innovation, sustainability, digital transformation, consumer-centric strategies, and long-term brand value. The discussions explored how the industry can adapt to changing global demands while creating resilient and trusted brands for the future.

The sessions provided an engaging platform for meaningful dialogue, knowledge sharing, and networking among students, professionals, and industry stakeholders. Participants gained valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead as the textile and apparel industry moves toward a more sustainable, innovative, and consumer-focused future.

The event was a resounding success, fostering meaningful conversations and strengthening the collaboration between academia and industry. MUTA is proud to have partnered with INTEX South Asia once again, reaffirming its commitment to advancing knowledge, encouraging innovation, and contributing to the continued growth of Sri Lanka's textile and apparel sector.
