FESPA Middle East Dubai

13. - 15. January 2026 | Trade fair for the printing industry

FESPA Middle East is the leading trade fair for specialty printing and signage in the MENA region. It provides a highly specialized platform for companies operating in visual communication, print technology, and innovative manufacturing processes. Held at the Dubai Exhibition Centre—a state-of-the-art venue in the heart of the city—the event has become the central meeting point for the specialty printing industry every February.

Organized by FESPA Global Events, the exhibition brings together industry professionals, technology providers, and decision-makers from across the region. It covers the entire specialty print value chain, from large-format digital and textile printing to direct-to-garment, screen printing, and signage. The focus extends beyond product innovations to include practical applications, investment strategies, and forward-looking solutions for the industry.

FESPA Middle East acts as a catalyst for innovation and sustainable development in the printing sector. Visitors gain exclusive insights into the latest technologies, machinery, and materials tailored to the specific needs of regional markets. The event program includes the Sustainability Spotlight, an informative platform addressing environmental topics, complemented by hands-on expert sessions.

Exhibitors represent all segments of the printing, advertising technology, and textile finishing industries. Among them are manufacturers of printing systems, software solutions, inks, substrates, as well as suppliers of embroidery and finishing equipment. The fair primarily targets professionals with significant purchasing power who are actively seeking new technologies, business partnerships, and market trends.

As a regional extension of FESPA’s global trade shows in Europe, Asia, and Africa, FESPA Middle East is more than just an industry gathering—it serves as a key growth driver for specialty printing in the Arab world. Dubai’s excellent infrastructure, business-friendly environment, and role as an innovation hub between East and West make it an ideal location. The Dubai Exhibition Centre is easily accessible via the international airport and public transport, offering modern facilities, streamlined organization, and outstanding networking opportunities in a dynamic setting.
