Taking place at the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center from June 9–13, 2026, HIGHTEX 2026 will bring together the latest developments in technical textiles and nonwoven technologies under one roof, offering industry professionals a unique platform for trade and collaboration. As Türkiye’s first and only exhibition dedicated to technical textiles and nonwovens, HIGHTEX will once again welcome thousands of professional visitors from different regions of the world this year.

Future technologies to be showcased at HIGHTEX 2026

Today, technical textiles are among the indispensable components of many strategic industries, including healthcare, automotive, defense, aerospace, construction, agriculture, energy, environment, and sports. With continuously advancing technology, the application areas of technical textiles are expanding every day, making them one of the most important representatives of high-value-added manufacturing and innovation.

HIGHTEX 2026 will bring together visitors with the innovative products and technologies that are at the center of this transformation. A wide range of products and technologies will be exhibited at the fair, from medical textiles and hygiene products to protective textiles and filtration systems, from geotextiles and automotive textiles to composite materials and advanced nonwoven applications.

While exhibiting companies will present their latest technological solutions to international buyers, visitors will have the opportunity to closely examine the products that will shape the future of the industry.

A Hub for global collaborations

Beyond being an exhibition where new technologies are showcased, HIGHTEX 2026 stands out as an important platform that contributes to the development of international trade and business partnerships. Industry professionals, manufacturers, and investors from various countries around the world will have the opportunity to establish new business connections, develop export opportunities, and create joint projects throughout the exhibition.

For the Turkish industry, which has made significant investments in technical textiles in recent years, HIGHTEX is of great importance in terms of presenting its domestic manufacturing strength and technological capabilities to international visitors. Turkish companies will have the opportunity to bring their high-quality products and innovative solutions to global markets.

Sustainability and innovation at the forefront

Sustainability is one of the most important topics shaping the future of the textile industry. Environmentally friendly production technologies, recyclable materials, energy-efficient manufacturing processes, and circular economy practices will be among the prominent themes of HIGHTEX 2026.

While exhibiting companies will showcase innovative solutions developed with a sustainable production approach, visitors will have the opportunity to closely examine the technologies driving the environmental transformation of the industry.
