TFT EXPO – Tashkent Fashion & Textile Expo

TFT EXPO – Tashkent Fashion & Textile Expo is the leading international trade fair for fashion and textiles in Central Asia. Held annually in spring at the prestigious Central Asian Expocentre (CAEx) in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, the event is organized by Lider Expo. It is specifically tailored to an international professional audience from the fields of fashion, textiles, manufacturing, and trade.

As a key B2B platform for the industry in the region, TFT EXPO offers a well-structured opportunity to showcase products, innovations, and business prospects across the entire textile value chain. Exhibits span a broad range—from women’s, men’s, and children’s clothing to underwear, loungewear, sportswear, leather goods, and accessories, as well as premium fabrics, technical textiles, yarns, sewing accessories, and production solutions. The offerings are finely attuned to the specific needs of the sector.

A particular emphasis is placed on sustainable technologies and innovative manufacturing methods, presented in a specially designated Innovation Zone. The exhibition program is further enriched by international runway shows, hands-on workshops, masterclasses, and targeted B2B meetings with brands, manufacturers, and buyers from countries such as Turkey, China, Russia, and Kazakhstan. As a result, TFT EXPO positions itself not only as a trade platform but also as a catalyst for trend development, knowledge exchange, and industry networking.

Beyond its commercial significance, the fair reflects the economic and cultural transformation of Uzbekistan—once primarily a cotton exporter, the country has evolved into a major producer of high-quality textile goods. With over 300 international textile companies and its strategic location between Europe and Asia, Uzbekistan has become a vital hub for economic cooperation. TFT EXPO serves as a prominent showcase of this progress on the global stage.

Exhibitors mainly come from the design, manufacturing, wholesale, retail, and distribution sectors, while the core audience includes buyers, brand representatives, start-ups, investors, and industry retailers.
