From June 9–13, 2026, the Tüyap Fair and Congress Centre will host the HIGHTEX 2026 International Technical Textiles and Nonwoven Exhibition, the first and only show of its kind in Turkey. Leading producers of technical textiles and nonwoven technologies from around the globe will be gathered at the show, which will also include ground-breaking inventions that will influence the industry’s future, particularly in the areas of nonwoven fabrics and smart textiles.
Innovations in the Production of Nonwoven Fabrics
Recent years have witnessed notable technological developments in the manufacture of nonwoven fabrics, a leading innovator in the textile industry. These fabrics, which are made by directly attaching fibres, are transforming a number of industries, including automotive, medical, hygiene, and agriculture, in contrast to conventional weaving and knitting techniques.
Automation and Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Nonwoven Production Technologies to Be Displayed
The newest technologies utilised in the manufacture of nonwoven fabrics will be the main focus of HIGHTEX 2026, one of the most prominent technical textile and nonwoven exhibits worldwide. At HIGHTEX 2026, the focus will be on next-generation nonwoven production methods that minimise environmental impact through sustainability-focused innovations, smart production systems that integrate with Industry 4.0 to enable faster and more efficient production of nonwoven fabrics, and AI-supported quality control and automation solutions.
Future Fabrics The Most Recent Developments in Smart Textiles
The emergence of smart textiles adds a new level of technological integration to the textile sector. Nanotechnology, embedded sensors, fibres that are responsive to pressure and heat, and wirelessly connected textiles are some of the cutting-edge production methods for smart textiles. Technology enthusiasts as well as designers and manufacturers will find a lot to learn at HIGHTEX 2026. Professionals will have the chance to closely examine the newest technologies at the exhibition, which will showcase innovative materials created for the geotextile, medical textile, aerospace, and automotive industries as well as unique textile solutions for hygiene products and the food and agriculture sectors.
Industry Professionals’ Access to New Trade Networks and Investment Opportunities
In addition to giving attendees a chance to display their goods, HIGHTEX 2026 will present chances for networking and new partnerships. During the show, the industry’s top suppliers and manufacturers will interact with business professionals, offering an opportunity to build long-lasting and fruitful relationships. Through business-to-business (B2B) discussions at the show, companies will be able to improve their global business relationships. Through machine sales and new investment choices, the technical textile sector in Turkey and around the world will see tremendous growth momentum thanks to the potential presented by HIGHTEX 2026.
A Special Chance to Get Up-Close Looks at the Newest Technologies and Learn from Professionals
Industry experts from around the globe will gather in Istanbul for HIGHTEX 2026. During the show, visitors from many regions—from America to Asia, Europe to Africa—will have the chance to learn about the newest advancements and technology in the industry. Visitors to this international gathering place will also have the opportunity to learn more about the nonwoven and technical textile sectors in-depth and get strategic counsel from professionals.
