Vietnam International Trade Fair for Apparel, Textiles and Textile Technologies (VIATT) 2026 will take place in Ho Chi Minh City from 26–28 February 2026, positioning itself as a key platform for accelerating digitalisation and sustainability across Vietnam’s textile and garment value chain. With Vietnam’s textile exports projected to reach USD 46 billion in 2025, the exhibition is set to support the sector’s continued growth through technology adoption, innovation, and international collaboration.
A key highlight of the 2026 edition is the debut of the German Pavilion, introduced to strengthen European participation alongside strong exhibitor representation from Asia. The pavilion will sit within the returning European Zone, showcasing leading companies from Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Türkiye, and the UK, and offering buyers access to high-quality, compliant, and technologically advanced textile solutions.
The fair’s third edition will feature seven country and regional pavilions and zones, representing China, Germany, Europe, India, Japan, Taiwan, and Türkiye. Exhibitors will cover the entire textile supply chain across Apparel Fabrics & Fashion, Home & Contract Textiles, and Technical Textiles & Technologies, reflecting VIATT’s role as a comprehensive sourcing and partnership hub for ASEAN and global markets.
European exhibitors will present advanced materials, machinery, and textile technologies designed to meet rising global demand for sustainability, performance, and traceability. Their participation underscores growing cooperation between European solution providers and Asian manufacturing hubs as the industry adapts to stricter environmental regulations and evolving buyer requirements.
Beyond the exhibition floor, VIATT 2026 will host a series of fringe events focused on industry strategy, sustainability, and market outlooks. These sessions will explore themes such as digital transformation, compliance, and international trade uncertainties, while providing networking and matchmaking opportunities for manufacturers, brands, and technology providers.
Organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd in partnership with Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency (VIETRADE), VIATT continues to strengthen its role as a regional gateway for diversified textile sourcing, manufacturing partnerships, and innovation-driven growth across Southeast Asia.
