[Exhibition Introduction]
FESPA Middle East primarily showcases new technologies in wide-format digital printing, textile printing, and signage industries, providing industry professionals in the Middle East with an opportunity to discover new trends, engage with printing and visual communication, and establish valuable business connections with peers. FESPA Middle East will be positioned as the core show in the Middle East and Africa region.
FESPA will host FESPA Middle East from January 20th to 22nd, 2025, at the brand-new Dubai Exhibition Centre in Dubai, UAE. This highly anticipated event will bring together the global printing and signage industry, providing major industry brands with a face-to-face trading platform in the Middle East. For many industries, Dubai is the gateway to the Middle East and Africa, which is why 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 printing, digital printing, and textile printing industries. It organizes exhibitions and conferences for this global alliance. Since its inception, FESPA has supported the printing industry through successful exhibitions, events, and publications, and provided educational and networking opportunities. The profits generated by FESPA's successful global events will be reinvested to benefit the global printing industry. The FESPA brand has a broad global exhibition portfolio that connects the entire industry from Europe to Mexico, South Africa, and the Middle East.
