🌍 Alpine Group at Asia-Pacific Textile & Apparel Supply Chain EXPO & SUMMIT 2024 (APTEXPO 2024) As the textile and apparel industry’s largest manufacturing hub, the Asia-Pacific region plays a vital role in shaping a sustainable future for fashion. 🌿 Attending @APTEXPO 2024 in Singapore earlier this week, reinforced this essential role. Hosted by the Singapore Fashion Council and organized by MP Singapore and CCPIT TEX Global at Marina Bay Sands, the event centered around the theme “Re-engineering Towards a Resilient, Adaptive, and Sustainable Supply Chain.” With thought-provoking speakers and panel discussions on supply chain resilience, digitalization, and sustainability, here are some of our key takeaways: 1. Globalizing the EU Textile Strategy 🌿 🌍 Dirk Vantyghem, Director General of EURATEX - European Apparel and Textile Confederation, emphasized the need to expand EU textile sustainability standards globally. Aligning international efforts with these standards is crucial for a sustainable future, promoting streamlined practices, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing accountability. This alignment could also strengthen trade between Europe and Asia-Pacific, fostering a sustainable framework for the entire supply chain. 2. Unlocking Frontier Technology and Digitalization 🚀 Deepika Rana COO at Li & Fung, discussed the importance of regional collaboration to transform global supply chains amid disruptions and evolving compliance. Advanced technology—data-driven design, AI forecasting, inventory optimization, and digital visibility—will be vital. Jonas Wand, CEO of FOURSOURCE, echoed this, highlighting AI’s potential to reshape the industry, as seen in real-time, demand-driven models. He noted AI could add $275 billion in profits, though full integration will take time. 3. Increased Investment in Sustainability 🌿 💰 💰 Sunny Huang, Executive Director at New Wide Group, shared insights on the cost of sustainability, stressing that “There are no shortcuts. There are no work-arounds. What is needed to get the job done is money, money, and more money.” At Alpine Group, we are inspired and excited to be part of this movement towards a resilient and sustainable industry. Together, we can push the needle forward. 💪 🧵 🌿 #AlpineGroup #APTEXPO2024 #SustainableFashion #Innovation #SupplyChain #AsiaPacific
