As Sri Lanka’s apparel industry targets an ambitious $8 billion in exports by 2030, the region’s premier trade platforms return to accelerate this growth.
The Intex – The Premier International Textile Sourcing Show and the co-located InMac – Smart Technology and Innovation in Gar-Tex Machinery will be held from 5 to 7 August 2026 at the BMICH, Colombo, uniting global textile sourcing and garment technology under one roof.
Hosting over 300 international companies from over 15 countries and regions, this largest-ever edition offers a comprehensive end-to-end platform to modernise Sri Lanka’s supply chain. Intex Sri Lanka will showcase upstream innovations in fibres, yarns, fabrics, accessories, and sustainable materials, connecting local manufacturers with major buyers from South Asia, ASEAN, Europe, and the Middle East. Running parallel, InMac Sri Lanka tackles the industry’s push for automation. Global machinery leaders will debut next-generation sewing, cutting, digital printing, and eco-friendly finishing systems designed to help factories transition into high-margin, intelligent manufacturing hubs.
Worldex India Executive Director Arti Bhagat said: “Our largest China Pavilion and strong Indian participation reflect deep global confidence in Sri Lanka. By integrating global raw materials with advanced machinery, Intex and InMac provide the definitive blueprint to power Sri Lanka’s 2030 export vision.”
These international B2B exhibitions will also feature the Interactive Business Forum (IBF) Seminars, exploring Circularity, Sustainability and Digital transformation and Smart Manufacturing across 3 days alongside B2B interactions and meetings for domestic and overseas trade buyers.
