Breaking barriers in global trade
The ITM 2026 International Textile Machinery Exhibition, scheduled for June 9-13 in Istanbul, is set to become a pivotal event for the global textile industry. With its strategic location and commitment to accessibility, ITM 2026 offers manufacturers and investors a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate, and explore the latest advancements in textile technology.

Connecting global markets
For manufacturers and investors unable to attend European exhibitions due to visa challenges, ITM 2026 serves as a bridge to global markets. The event facilitates direct connections between brands and buyers, enabling meaningful collaborations and market expansion. With thousands of professionals expected to attend, ITM 2026 is poised to break records for exhibitor and visitor numbers, solidifying its reputation as a global hub for textile innovation.
