A national platform that honours, recognises and promotes innovation across Bangladesh's textile and apparel industry, judged by an independent Jury Board.
Outstanding contributions that have a transformative impact on the textile and apparel industry.
A culture of continuous improvement, inspiring professionals to develop solutions for current challenges and future needs.
Leadership in innovation, promoting environmentally and socially responsible practices that benefit businesses and communities.
Knowledge sharing, by promoting innovations that can serve as models for the wider industry.
Innovation does not have to be a breakthrough. Anything that adds value to a product, service or process counts, as long as it has a business case: lower cost, higher revenue or a simpler operation.
Applications can relate to one or more areas, or none: the Administrative Board aligns each application with the right area. Each card lists what the Jury Board looks for. Not every area is awarded each year.
Every application is reviewed by the Administrative Board and then assessed by the independent Jury Board against the same five criteria.
The benefits the innovation has delivered: savings, revenue, quality, productivity, people or environmental outcomes.
Whether the approach can be repeated across lines, plants or the wider industry with available resources.
What is new or different compared with common practice, and the unmet need it answers.
The environmental and social benefit, and whether the gains will last.
How well the innovation answers real buyer, customer or industry needs, now and next.
A note for applicants. Apply with the work, not the company. Describe one innovation clearly and support it with data, photos or documents where you have them.
Applications are made by an organisation, not an individual. Any textile, apparel or allied company or service provider with an innovation can apply.
Apply online with your organisation, the innovation and how it meets the five criteria.
Share data, photos or documents about the innovation and its results.
A board with many years of industry experience reviews each application and aligns it to the right area.
The independent Jury Board assesses applications against the criteria and finalises the results.
Winners are recognised on 13 November 2026 at ICCB, Dhaka.
Reviews every application and aligns it with the right area. Members have worked with the industry for many years.
