ITM 2028 is preparing to bring together the global textile machinery and technology industry in Istanbul from 13 to 17 June 2028, offering manufacturers, technology suppliers and industry professionals a platform to explore new markets, establish strategic partnerships and strengthen their international business networks.
Positioned as a major meeting point for the textile technologies industry, the upcoming exhibition will focus on creating meaningful commercial opportunities by connecting machinery manufacturers with potential customers and international business partners.
According to the organisers’ latest promotional announcement, ITM 2028 will place particular emphasis on three priorities: attracting new customers, reaching new markets and discovering new business opportunities.
Connecting Textile Technology with Global Markets
As textile manufacturers worldwide seek ways to improve productivity, strengthen competitiveness and respond to changing market demands, international exhibitions continue to play an important role in facilitating technology exchange and investment decisions.
ITM 2028 aims to provide participating companies with opportunities to showcase their capabilities, engage with prospective customers and develop relationships that extend beyond traditional markets.
For machinery manufacturers and technology suppliers, the exhibition presents an opportunity to strengthen brand visibility and engage directly with textile producers evaluating new technologies and production solutions.
For textile manufacturers, such events provide access to a broad network of equipment suppliers and potential technology partners, helping them evaluate investment opportunities and explore solutions to operational challenges.
New Customers, New Markets and New Partnerships
The organisers are encouraging companies to secure their participation early and position themselves within an international business environment.
Through face-to-face meetings, product presentations and professional networking, exhibitors will have opportunities to introduce their technologies to prospective buyers while exploring new commercial relationships.
The exhibition’s central message, “New Markets, New Connections, New Opportunities,” reflects its emphasis on business development and international engagement.
For textile machinery suppliers, expanding their customer base across different regions is increasingly important as manufacturing investment patterns and sourcing strategies evolve.
Opportunities for Pakistan’s Textile Industry
ITM 2028 could also provide valuable opportunities for Pakistan’s textile machinery representatives, manufacturers and technology investors seeking stronger international connections.
With Pakistan’s textile industry facing growing pressure to improve manufacturing efficiency, modernise production facilities and remain competitive in export markets, engagement with international machinery suppliers can help businesses evaluate emerging technologies and potential investments.
Participation in international exhibitions such as ITM can also support relationships between Pakistani textile businesses and overseas manufacturers, opening avenues for technology partnerships and commercial cooperation.
Building on the Momentum of ITM 2026
The previous edition, ITM 2026, attracted 48,257 professional visitors and investors from 105 countries, alongside more than 1,000 exhibitors representing 59 countries, according to the organisers.
These figures underline the exhibition’s international reach and provide a foundation for the next edition’s business-development ambitions.
Exhibitor Applications Now Open
ITM 2028 will take place at the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center in Büyükçekmece, Istanbul, from 13 to 17 June 2028.
The exhibition will cover technologies across the textile production chain, including yarn production, weaving, knitting, dyeing and finishing, textile printing, and related manufacturing solutions.
Organised by Tüyap Tüm Fuarcılık Yapım A.Ş. and Teknik Fuarcılık A.Ş., in cooperation with TEMSAD, ITM 2028 is now accepting exhibitor applications.
