Now we are bringing the international fashion fabrics manufacturing base to Turkey.” On the occasion of the official start of Texworld Istanbul, Messe Frankfurt and the Turkish Uludag Textile Exporters Association (UTIB) will commit themselves to further expand their successful cooperation. “Therefore, Messe Frankfurt and UTIB will sign a Memorandum of Understanding during the fair confirming the importance of our worldwide textile fairs for the Turkish textile and apparel industry,” says Braun.

Texworld Istanbul is targeting buyers and professional visitors from Turkey and from the surrounding regions, including the Middle East and the Gulf States, Central Asia, Russia, Eastern Europe and North Africa. “Istanbul is a very convenient location for all these countries, with several daily flight connections to all major business centers in those regions. This will add to the dynamic trade environment of Texworld Istanbul, which will be a new meeting point for Asian and global fashion fabrics manufacturers and their buyers from those fast-moving regions”, explains Tayfun Yardım, Deputy General Manager, Messe Frankfurt Istanbul. Istanbul’s central location between Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Middle East and North Africa, enhances the importance of Texworld Istanbul. In addition, the easy access in terms of visa requirements from surrounding regions and the potential of unexplored apparel production markets in these regions contribute to the decision to organize a textile fair in Turkey.
