The International Sourcing Expo is back with its 11th edition, taking place from 15th-17th November 2022 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. The premise of the expo is sourcing from offshore.
India’s new Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement with Australia has worked in its favour as Indian textile exports to Australia are excluded from duties.
Julie Holt, Global Exhibitions Director, International Exhibition & Conference (IEC) Group says there will be significant Indian presence at the Expo, including a large contingent represented by Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) and Handloom Export Promotion Council (HEPC) in apparel and textiles, and Council for Leather Exports India in the co-located Footwear and Leather Show.
The statement of Julie Holt and the event website didn’t have any number about the Indian participants in the event.
She further added that, “With a robust presence of Indian exhibitors and industry associations exhibiting at the International Sourcing Expo, it is clear that there is real interest and commitment to engaging with Australian business and we look forward to realising these opportunities in November 2022, and through our events in 2023 and beyond.”
