The ITM 2026 International Textile Machinery Exhibition is set to position itself as a key meeting point for green transformation and digital innovation within the global textile industry. With a strong emphasis on sustainable production and advanced digital technologies, the exhibition will outline a clear roadmap for the future of textile manufacturing.
Organised by Tüyap Tüm Fuarcılık Yapım A.Ş. and Teknik Fuarcılık A.Ş., in partnership with the Textile Machinery and Accessories Industrialists Association, ITM 2026 will take place at the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center from 9–13 June 2026. The event will bring together leading manufacturers and solution providers, focusing on two of the sector’s most pressing priorities: green technologies and digital integration.
In line with international climate objectives, ITM 2026 will highlight machinery and systems designed to reduce environmental impact across textile production. Exhibits will include dyeing technologies that significantly reduce water consumption, weaving machines optimised for energy efficiency and equipment capable of processing recycled raw materials with high performance. These solutions aim to lower carbon footprints while supporting circular economy practices.
Sustainable production will be at the core of the exhibition, reflecting the growing necessity for environmentally responsible manufacturing. Visitors will see durable, high-performance machines that help conserve natural resources, alongside energy-saving systems, closed-loop water solutions and more responsible chemical applications. Together, these technologies demonstrate how sustainability can deliver both environmental and economic value.
Digitalisation will also be a major focus at ITM 2026. Machinery incorporating artificial intelligence, automation, data analytics and digital twin technologies will be presented as key enablers of smart manufacturing. These innovations allow real-time process monitoring, improved efficiency and reduced error rates, supporting the transition towards intelligent, flexible factories.
As a global business platform, ITM 2026 will connect textile machinery manufacturers, industry professionals and investors in Istanbul. Attendees will gain first-hand insight into next-generation technologies and research developments, helping them to make informed investment decisions aligned with sustainability and digital transformation goals.
Online visitor registration is available, enabling fast and easy access to the exhibition and offering advantages for early registrants.
