Global investors, particularly those facing visa and logistical challenges in attending European exhibitions, are eagerly awaiting ITM 2026, which offers a more accessible and comprehensive international experience. The existence of visa agreements between Türkiye and numerous countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Iran, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan further enhances the importance of ITM 2026. Investors from the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Turkic Republics can easily reach Istanbul to see the latest technologies firsthand, establish direct contact with manufacturers, and develop business collaborations.

A strategic meeting point for global investors

Elastic yarns to become more recyclable and environmentally friendly in future

On 29 April 2026, ITA student Tobias Dickmeiß was awarded a sponsorship prize by the Wilhelm Lorch-Stiftung for his innovative approach, to replacing conventional elastane with elastic yarns made from thermoplastic copolyester elastomers (TPC). Thanks to their thermoplastic nature and compatibility with typical polyesters used in the textile industry, elastic TPC yarns offer improved recyclability. Furthermore, the use of the melt-spinning process in yarn production eliminates the need for solvents that are harmful to the environment and human health.
