Bringing together global leaders, decision-makers, and innovators, the event will drive dialogue, partnerships, and solutions to build stronger, more sustainable, and future-ready supply chains.

Jointly organised by MP Singapore Pte Ltd and The Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT (CCPIT TEX), and sponsored by the ASEAN Federation of Textile Industries (AFTEX) and China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC), the event is also hosted by the Singapore Fashion Council (SFC).

Themed "Re-engineering towards a Resilient, Adaptive and Sustainable Supply Chain", APTEXPO 2025 reflects the industry's urgent need to embrace digitalisation, fair trade, circular economy models, and sustainable innovation. The event will serve as a key platform for stakeholders to share strategies, forge partnerships, and shape the next chapter of global textile and apparel manufacturing.

APTEXPO 2025 enjoys strong support from key associations across ASEAN, including:
