The Centre of Innovation Efficiency and OSH (CIEOSH) is getting ready to support Bangladesh’s RMG industry with knowledge, skills and technical know-how to face the future challenges and enhance its competiveness.
The Technical Committee of CIEOSH formed involving industry experts, academia, brands, development partners and other stakeholders sat together to discuss how the centre will serve the industry in developing its capacities in the changing business landscape.

It will also focus on wider issues concerning the industry such as industrial relations, industrial engineering, productivity, efficiency, human resource development, business ethics and practices, financial reporting, occupational safety and health, and good governance.
Overall, the Center will analyze the current situation, challenges, skills and innovation landscape in the world of clothing industry and recommend ways to address the challenges, especially in the area of productivity, efficiency, digitalization, and Industry 4.0.
