Nastex International Exhibition 2026 A Textile and Innovation Event in Damascus
In a move to enhance Syria's position as an industrial and commercial hub, Growfast, in collaboration with Al-Nassaj Factory, announces the organization of the "Nastex International Exhibition for Textile Products, Furnishings, and Machinery" at the Damascus International Fairgrounds in 2026. The exhibition, scheduled to take place from April 1 to 4, will be a major event in the textile and decor sectors, aiming to bring together leading global companies and brands for knowledge exchange and collaboration in manufacturing and innovation.
The Damascus International Fairgrounds is considered the ideal strategic location to host this significant event, thanks to its well-structured infrastructure, including air-conditioned halls and spacious areas, ensuring a seamless experience for both visitors and participants. The Damascus International Fair, which began in 1954, is the oldest in the Arab region and serves as a leading international platform for showcasing the latest developments in industries across the Middle East, promoting trade exchange between Syria and the world.
A wide range of products will be showcased at the exhibition, including textiles, furnishings, decor, as well as machinery and production lines specific to the textile industry. The event will also feature specialized workshops focused on modern manufacturing techniques and the development of factory management and resource planning systems.
As the exhibition date in 2026 approaches, Growfast and Al-Nassaj Factory continue preparations to host this event, which will mark a significant milestone in the history of international exhibitions in Syria.
