ITM 2026 International Textile Machinery Exhibition, considered one of the most important organizations in the field of textile technologies in the world, is preparing to bring together all stakeholders of the industry in Istanbul between June 9–13, 2026. The exhibition, where advanced technology machines and innovative solutions for every stage of the textile production chain will be showcased, will offer an important global meeting platform for manufacturers, technology providers, investors, and professional visitors.

Leading textile machinery manufacturers and industry professionals from around the world will come together in Istanbul within the scope of ITM 2026 to share the latest technologies and production solutions with the industry. Covering all stages of textile production from spinning to weaving, knitting to dyeing and finishing systems, the exhibition will bring together the latest innovations in textile technologies and the production trends of the future with visitors.

With its strategic location, strong textile production infrastructure, and advanced logistics networks, Istanbul will once again become the focal point of the global textile technologies sector thanks to ITM 2026. The exhibition, which is expected to host thousands of industry representatives from different regions of the world, particularly Europe, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, and Africa, will make a significant contribution to the development of international trade and the establishment of new collaborations.

Global participation and international interest

ITM 2026 attracts attention on a global scale with its strong exhibitor and visitor profile. Leading textile machinery manufacturers, technology providers, investors, and purchasing professionals from around the world will meet in Istanbul within the scope of the exhibition. This broad participation turns ITM 2026 from being merely a trade fair organization into one of the most important international trade platforms of the textile industry.

The visa facilitation provided by Türkiye to many countries and Istanbul’s strong air transportation connections significantly increase the international accessibility of the exhibition. Thanks to these advantages, industry professionals from different geographies will easily reach ITM 2026 and have the opportunity to establish new business connections and develop collaborations.

Industry professionals from all systems of textile production—from spinning to weaving, knitting to dyeing and finishing, from digital textile printing to garment technologies—will take part in ITM 2026 both as exhibitors and visitors. This wide sector representation will enable the exhibition to create a strong platform for knowledge sharing, technology transfer, and commercial collaborations.

Solutions shaping the future of textile technologies

ITM 2026 will bring together the world’s leading companies that develop innovative solutions in textile technologies under the same roof. A wide range of technologies will be exhibited at the fair, from yarn production technologies to weaving and knitting machines, from dyeing and finishing systems to digital textile printing technologies.

Participating companies will introduce visitors to production systems that provide high efficiency, machines that offer energy savings, automation and digitalization-focused solutions, and sustainable production technologies. In addition, innovations shaping the future of the sector—such as artificial intelligence-supported production systems, smart factory applications, data-driven production management, and environmentally friendly production technologies—will be among the highlights of the exhibition.

Beyond being a fair where new technologies are showcased, ITM 2026 will be a global meeting point where new investments are planned, strategic collaborations are established, and ideas shaping the future of the textile industry are shared. This major organization to be held in Istanbul will bring together the most important actors of the textile technologies world and shape the future of the sector.
