What is the "ITMA" about?

The most comprehensive textile exhibition in the world ITMA will return to Fiera Milano Rho in Italy for its reoccurring once in four years event. Textiles, garment and innovation will converge between 8th and 14th June 2023 and pave the way to sustainable textile, machinery and raw material production. The latest ITMA in Barcelona set an all-time record with a total of 1717 exhibitors from 45 countries. The demand for exhibition stands was so great that the available space at Fira Barcelona - Gran Via wasn't enough to accommodate all applicants. This is why ITMA 2023 in Milan is set to be even larger, more exiting and diverse.

What makes it special

While the motto of one of the shows was Innovating the World of Textiles, innovation, in fact, lies at the heart of every edition. ITMA’s emphasis on innovative approaches to sustainability as an integral feature of the industry of tomorrow can be felt throughout its sectors and events. ITMA continuously takes a more robust stance toward fostering a digital transformation & circularity through the entire textile ecosystem by paying special tribute to research and education institutes with the Research & Innovation Lab. Institutions and research community members distinguished with excellent scientific performance can enjoy a discount toward their exhibitors’ fees. Similarly, ITMA offers outstanding leveraging opportunities to promising start-ups with the unique CEMATEX Start-Up Grant.

What is new for ITMA 2023

As one of the veterans in organising major industry summits, ITMA remains committed to supporting promising new entries in the textile industry that will catalyse innovation through the entire supply network. In 2023 ITMA is launching Start-up Valley, an initiative expected to attract the most daring innovators to exhibit and participate in the various supporting activities during the event, such as the Innovator Xchange. The new addition to the ITMA programme provides an excellent complement to the long-standing ITMA Research & Innovation Lab. The Start-up Valley, the innovation lab and the ITMA Sustainable Innovation Award and Innovation Video Showcase round off the comprehensive and future-proof concept of ITMA.
