Techtextil 2026

From April 21 to 24, 2026, Techtextil will return to Frankfurt am Main, once again bringing together the global textile industry for four days of cutting-edge innovation, networking, and business opportunities.

Techtextil focuses on technical textiles and nonwovens, showcasing applications across a wide range of sectors including mobility, construction, medical, sports, protective clothing, and more. Visitors can expect to see innovations in smart textiles, high-performance fibers, and sustainable material solutions. With exhibitors from over 50 countries, Techtextil remains a key meeting point for researchers, designers, engineers, and buyers worldwide.

Running in parallel, Texprocess covers the entire value chain of textile and flexible material processing — from cutting, sewing, and embroidery to digital manufacturing, automation, and AI-driven solutions. With Industry 4.0, robotics, and connected production at the forefront, Texprocess highlights how the industry is rapidly evolving towards smart, adaptive manufacturing environments.

Sustainability will take center stage in 2026. Both trade fairs will feature dedicated forums and showcases focused on circular economy strategies, recyclable materials, and energy-efficient production processes. In addition, emerging startups will have the opportunity to present their innovations to a global audience through specially designed platforms and events.

For professionals in the textile and apparel sectors, Techtextil 2026 offer an unmatched opportunity to explore trends, exchange knowledge, and forge new partnerships. With thousands of exhibitors and tens of thousands of visitors expected, this edition promises to be a vibrant international hub for innovation, technology, and collaboration.
