Nana Addo Tamakloe, CEO of Accra Fashion Week, will participate in the BRICS+ Fashion Summit in Moscow from September 28 to 30. This event is officially recognized as part of the BRICS agenda and is among the industry’s top international gatherings, having hosted industry experts from 109 countries in Moscow.
The BRICS+ Fashion Summit brings together leading industry professionals from dozens of countries across Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe to discuss major structural shifts in the fashion industry, including changes in logistics routes and consumer behavior. They will share their insights and expertise to shape the future of the industry.
Today, fashion industries are operating amid major structural shifts, with regional manufacturing hubs gaining greater importance. The BRICS+ Fashion Summit provides a platform for industry leaders to shape responses to these changes, from heads of national fashion weeks and industry associations to manufacturers, retailers, and investors. It is a key event for the industry.
Africa’s Fashion Industry
Africa remains one of the key sourcing and manufacturing hubs of the global fashion industry, with a new generation of local brands across the continent seeking distribution channels beyond domestic markets. For Ghana, the Summit can open up new entry points into the export networks of fast-growing economies, from textile manufacturing to designer retail. This can be a significant opportunity for Ghana.
