Hosted by Daegu Metropolitan City and Gyeongsangbuk-do Province and organized by the Daegu Gyongbuk Textile Industries Association (Chairman Jung-moon Cho), the 2023 S/S International Textile Fair 'PREVIEW IN DAEGU 2022'(PID) was held at the West Hall at Daegu EXCO on the 2nd.

PID will be held from the 2nd to the 4th under the exhibition slogan "Great Transformation of the Textile Industry for Sustainable Growth," with 209 domestic and foreign textile companies (483 booths) participating..

PID, which started in 2002 and marks its 20th anniversary this year, is the largest textile material business exhibition in Korea that has contributed to expanding exports of the textile fashion industry and revitalizing domestic transactions. The exhibition, which will be held ahead of the full-fledged "Endemic COVID" era, plans to operate as an on·offline hybrid to boost the phased recovery of offline businesses that have been shrinking. Particularly, the PID ONLINE SOURCING has been pre-opened since February 21st and has been presenting about 2,800 new materials to domestic and foreign buyers.

This year's PID will set "NEW Worldview" as the trend theme and showcase various new materials and products aimed at the 2023 S/S season. It seeks the value and direction of the textile fashion industry in the face of climate disaster, resource depletion, and the pandemic crisis. It also covers new high-tech materials and eco-friendly and carbon-neutral materials based on awareness of the environment and sustainable development which is completely different from previous exhibitions.
