COVID-19: Important information for your trade fair activities
As trade fair, the well-being of everyone involved is extremely important to us. That is why Messe Frankfurt has developed a concept for hygiene, medical and organisational measures that has been approved by the authorities. We kindly ask you, as an exhibitor, to update your stand construction concepts to satisfy protection and hygiene regulations.
Techtextil is held concurrently with Texprocess and presents the complete spectrum of applications for high-tech textiles, which make products lighter, more functional and more sustainable. With supplementary digital features, a comprehensive hygiene and safety concept and a new position at the Exhibition Centre, both exhibitors and visitors can look forward to a host of innovations.
‘Textiles these days are a high-tech product. Technical and smart textiles, in particular, enable companies in Germany to have a positive view of the future.’
‘Throughout Europe, technical textiles are one of the biggest sectors of the textile and apparel industry and thus a decisive driving force for its economic strength.’

Special Event “Urban Living – City of the Future”
According to the United Nations, nearly 70 percent of all people are expected to be living in metropolises and megacities by 2050. Functional apparel, with smart functions for example, could also play an even more important role in people’s everyday lives in the future. The Techtextil and Texprocess exhibition area presented examples of textile applications.
„Sustainability at Techtextil“: In the field of technical textiles, more and more firms are adopting approaches to greater sustainability. Techtextil was explicitly turning its focus for the first time onto its exhibitors' approaches to sustainability. For the first time the Techtextil Innovation Award was presented to two firms in the category of sustainability.
Expert lectures and discussion formats right in the heart of the industry: The new Techtextil Forum provided an opportunity for an interactive exchange of ideas and information between exhibitors and trade visitors, as well as researchers and developers and users.
