The MoU signed in port city of Karachi will allow Archroma to play a pivotal role to impart technical know-how, training and re-training through active platform of Ethical Affair. Women Entrepreneurs will be provided a tool kit in areas such as technical know-how pertaining to textiles from initial to final stage, international textile market features, sustainability development, or understanding cost and value creation for local and foreign markets.
“Empowering women entrepreneurs to enter into the mainstream will certainly add value coupled with creativity for the textile industry.
