[introduction to the exhibition]
FESPA Middle East primarily showcases new technologies in the wide format digital printing, textile printing and advertising industries, providing industry professionals in the Middle East with the opportunity to discover new trends, interact with print and visual communications, and establish valuable business connections with peers. FESPA Middle East will be positioned as the premier show in the Middle East and Africa region.
FESPA will be hosting FESPA Middle East from 20th to 22nd January 2025 at the brand new Dubai Exhibition Centre, UAE. This highly anticipated event will bring together the global sign and print industry, providing major industry brands with a face-to-face trade platform in the Middle East. Dubai is the gateway to the Middle East and Africa for many industries, so we expect to see a large number of visitors from the Middle East and Africa attending the show.
FESPA is a global alliance of 37 national associations representing the screen, digital and textile printing industries. It organises exhibitions and conferences for this global alliance. Since its inception, FESPA has supported the printing industry through successful exhibitions, events and publications, as well as providing educational and networking opportunities. Profits generated from successful FESPA global events will be reinvested for the benefit of the global printing industry. The FESPA brand has a broad global exhibition portfolio that links the entire industry from Europe to Mexico, South Africa and the Middle East.
