The Amritsar zone of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), in collaboration with Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU), recently organised a seminar titled, “Future of Technical Textiles in Amritsar” to explore the transformation of Amritsar’s traditional textile sector towards innovation-driven technical textiles. The seminar included speakers and industry insiders from Belgium.

Addressing the seminar, Davinder Singh, Chairman, CII Amritsar zone, emphasised, “It’s time to reposition Amritsar beyond its traditional image and build its identity as a forward-looking hub of technical textile innovation. Strong collaboration between academia and industry will be the foundation of this shift.”

Dr Karamjeet Singh, vice-chancellor, Guru Nanak Dev University, in his presidential address, assured full institutional support to the industry. He announced that the university is ready to offer industry-focused surveys, in-depth research, training modules, technology consultancy and hand-holding for startups interested in venturing into the technical textile domain. The golden jubilee Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre has already been running knowledge and industry linkage support for registered startups in field of textiles, apparel and handloom.
