Why textile Industry ?

The success of African companies on the international scene requires a solid conception of economic models, training, rigor in management, but above all and above all, a deep anchoring in local and sub-regional markets. Indeed, the consumer potential available in the ECOWAS zone exceeds 300 million people.
 

The sharing of experience and the social models of successful entrepreneurs in their field are structuring for the construction of inclusive ecosystems for young entrepreneurs. One of the sectors with very high potential, but very little exploited in Benin, is that of textiles.

According to the African Development Bank, the African textile-clothing industry has a potential of 31 billion dollars. That is, for the countries south of the Sahara, the second sector providing jobs after agriculture. Benin being one of the major producers of cotton on the continent, the local textile industry has, a priori, tremendous potential.

But Benin's textile potential is not limited to cotton fiber. During this forum, our ambition is to explore the development potential of other natural fibers available, as well as the development potential for textiles for domestic or industrial use.
