Bizweek. mu is a brand that focuses on the economic development and growth of Mauritius. They are actively engaged in the Textile and Clothing Industry and recently organized a two-day symposium with academic and industry operators to celebrate 50 years of advancement in this field.

The objective of this initiative was to stimulate further progress and brainstorm new ideas. One of their main concerns is the potential lapse of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) in September 2025. To address this issue, the Minister of Industrial Development, SMEs, and Cooperatives of Mauritius led a delegation to the USA to discuss the necessity of renewing the agreement with high-level government and private sector officials.

In addition to maintaining existing markets, Bizweek. mu emphasizes the importance of looking beyond traditional destinations and leveraging new business opportunities. They are actively exploring free trade agreements with China, India, the African Continental Free Trade Area, the United Arab Emirates, and Indonesia to diversify Mauritius' markets.

Furthermore, Bizweek. mu is actively supporting the seamless production activities and order delivery of textile companies through the implementation of the Manufacturing 4. 0 project.

They are also promoting the transition to a Net-Zero Nature-Positive Economy through a project supported by the Global Environment Facility and the United Nations Environment Programme. Despite challenges such as the dismantling of the Multi-Fibre Agreement, emergence of low-cost producing countries, Brexit, and the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the Mauritian textile industry has shown resilience and continues to thrive. Mauritian textile factories supply renowned international brands, further establishing Mauritius as a world-class player in the global textile market.

Overall, Bizweek. mu is committed to driving economic growth and development in Mauritius through the Textile and Clothing Industry, while also exploring new opportunities and promoting sustainability
