However, it is imperative that in an increasingly competitive world, Bangladesh keep up technologically to retain its edge. It is good to see that apparel-makers are taking this seriously — the introduction of cutting-edge software technology can not only upgrade the production process, but improve accuracy in measurement, thereby reducing fabric waste. Improvement is a continous process, and Bangladesh cannot afford to remain stuck with outdated production technologies. It was through technology that exporting giants like China gained their supremacy in the world market, and now it is Bangladesh’s turn. For now, we can import foreign technologies to stay competitive, but in the long run, we could very well have technological innovations of our own which propel us forward.
