Pre-Register for ITMA 2027 Textile Technology Delegations in Germany

International textile manufacturers are invited to participate in the Global Textile Technology Mission, taking place from September 12 to 17, 2027, in Germany. This initiative precedes the ITMA 2027 exhibition in Hanover and allows selected participants to visit prominent VDMA textile machinery member companies and research institutes.

The program is part of the Foreign Market Entry Programme for SMEs, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, and supported by the VDMA Textile Machinery Association. Interested companies must pre-register by December 11, 2026.

Participants can explore four core technology routes: Spinning, Winding & Nonwovens; Knitting, Weaving & Braiding; Dyeing, Finishing, Coating & Process Control; and Textile Recycling & Circularity. These visits aim to provide insights into textile machinery technology development and research.

The program includes a welcome dinner, scheduled visits, local transport, visa support, and networking opportunities at ITMA 2027. Decision-makers from textile manufacturing companies are encouraged to apply, with limited places available.
