Istanbul to Become the Global Hub of Textile Technology
The ITM 2026 International Textile Machinery Exhibition will be held at the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul. Over five days, the city will become a global hub for textile technology and innovation.
Visitors and investors will explore advanced textile machinery and innovative solutions first-hand. Additionally, the exhibition will foster strong partnerships and investment decisions that will drive growth and competitiveness in the international textile machinery market.
Building on the Success of ITM 2024
The 2024 edition of ITM marked a major milestone in the exhibition’s history. It hosted 1,385 companies from 71 countries and attracted 66,200 visitors from 99 nations, with nearly half coming from abroad.
Moreover, the exhibition generated billions of euros in business volume through machine sales and partnerships. This remarkable success has laid a solid foundation for ITM 2026, ensuring even greater achievements in the upcoming edition.
Five Days of Opportunities, Collaboration, and Growth
Beyond being an exhibition, ITM 2026 will serve as a dynamic platform for investment and cooperation. Organized B2B meetings will allow companies to establish long-term business relationships and expand their market potential.
Visitors will benefit from direct engagement with industry experts and demonstrations of the latest textile technologies. Delegations from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan, India, Egypt, and other key textile-producing nations will join the event.

Visa Facilitation to Boost International Participation
Held in Istanbul, a crossroads of global trade, ITM 2026 offers participants exceptional accessibility. The city’s location between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East makes it a strategic meeting point for global business.
Additionally, visa agreements with countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, and Uzbekistan make participation much easier. Textile professionals who often face visa hurdles for European events will find Istanbul far more convenient, leading to a significant rise in international visitors.
Istanbul: A City of Comfort, Connectivity, and Culture
Istanbul not only provides logistical advantages but also offers a rich experience beyond business. The city boasts a wide range of hotels, catering to every budget near the exhibition venue, ensuring comfort and convenience for visitors.
Furthermore, Istanbul’s diverse culinary scene—from traditional Turkish dishes to world cuisines—adds cultural depth to the event experience. With excellent transportation links, vibrant cafés, and global restaurants, participants can enjoy both professional engagement and cultural exploration.
Ultimately, ITM 2026 will be more than an exhibition — it will be a convergence of innovation, investment, and inspiration in the global textile industry.
