Messe Frankfurt — the global leader in textile
trade shows with over 60 international textile events — hosted an
exclusive press conference today at The Westin Dhaka to announce
Techtextil and Texprocess 2026.

The conference highlighted the significance of these leading
international fairs in driving innovation and value addition across
the textile and apparel industries.

Scheduled to take place from April 21 to 24, 2026, in Frankfurt,
Techtextil and Texprocess will once again bring together global
experts to showcase the most comprehensive range of technical
textiles, functional apparel fabrics, nonwovens, and advanced garment
machinery—all under one roof. Bangladesh has been chosen as one of the
five most important countries for visitors to the show as it remains a
world leader in garments.

The conference was organized by Ms. Afroze, Head of Operations, Messe
Frankfurt SP Bangladesh, who emphasized Bangladesh’s growing role and
contribution to the global textile and technology sectors.

A Bangladesh pavilion, jointly organized by the Export Promotion
Bureau (EPB) and BGMEA, showcased five companies specializing in
technical and value-added textiles. Following its successful
participation in 2022 and 2024, an even larger pavilion is anticipated
for 2026.

Moreover over 100 trade visitors from Bangladesh attend every year
where they meet exhibitors and buyers from all over the world. 14
country pavilions at Techtextil, including Belgium, France, Italy,
Portugal, and Switzerland, and two pavilions at Texprocess from China
and Taiwan offered Bangladesh visitors valuable access to cutting-edge
textile and garment technologies, machinery, and innovations. The
exhibitions boosted networking, knowledge exchange, and
collaborations, helping Bangladeshi manufacturers modernize
production, improve quality, and compete globally.

Participation in such international exhibitions not only opens new
avenues for trade and technology transfer but also strengthens
Bangladesh’s position as a hub for sustainable and high-performance
textile production. By connecting with global innovators, suppliers,
and machinery manufacturers, Bangladeshi companies gain valuable
insights into emerging trends such as smart textiles, automation, and
eco-friendly processes — enabling them to enhance competitiveness,
diversify product offerings, and expand their footprint in
international markets.
