MED-ATLANTIC TEXTILE SUMMIT 2026
Connecting Continents. Reimagining Supply Chains. Shaping the Future of Global Textile & Apparel Sourcing.
As the global textile and apparel industry enters a defining era of transformation, the rules of sourcing, manufacturing, and supply-chain strategy are being rewritten. Geopolitical uncertainties, evolving trade policies, changing consumer expectations, regulatory pressures, and the accelerated pursuit of resilience have compelled brands, retailers, manufacturers, and sourcing leaders to rethink traditional production and procurement models.
Against this backdrop, Morocco has emerged as one of the world’s most strategic and attractive destinations for textile and apparel manufacturing - offering proximity to Europe, seamless access to North America, growing connectivity to Africa, competitive industrial capabilities, preferential trade frameworks, and an increasingly agile production ecosystem.
The Med-Atlantic Textile Summit 2026 is conceived as a high-level strategic platform bringing together industry leaders, brands, retailers, manufacturers, policymakers, investors, textile associations, confederations, chambers of commerce, sourcing organizations, and innovators from Africa, Europe, and North America to shape the next chapter of global textile and apparel value chains.
Held on the sidelines of the 23rd Maroc in Mode (MIM) Show 2026 and the 4th African Edition of the Textile Series of Exhibitions, and jointly organized by AMITH – Association Marocaine des Industries du Textile et de l’Habillement and CEMS-Global USA, the Summit will serve as a powerful forum for dialogue, strategy, collaboration, and business creation across three interconnected continents.
Our goal is to unlock potential, fuel creativity, and support organizations with the right resources to innovate, scale, and thrive in today's competitive marketplace.
