VIATT 2026 will continue to gather major exhibitors from Asia and beyond, solidifying the fair’s role as a hub for diversified textile supply and manufacturing partnerships in ASEAN. Beyond pavilions and zones from Germany and East Asia, one other pavilion is set to feature prominently: the India Pavilion, organised by TEXPROCIL (The Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council), will return with 21 companies showcasing the country’s export-ready capabilities and breadth in cotton textiles and related categories. Notably, it will promote Kasturi Cotton, an initiative launched by the Ministry of Textiles, Textile Trade Bodies, and Industry, aimed at enhancing the value of Indian cotton according to established benchmark specifications. This pioneering initiative focuses on traceability, certification, and branding, setting a new standard for Indian cotton in the global market.
Fringe programme adding insights for Vietnamese and global sectors
Beyond the show floor, the fair will offer diverse opportunities for industry players through its wide range of fringe events spanning trends, innovation, market updates, and textile business strategies. Featured events include:
- TGIS 2026 (Vietnam Textile & Garment Industry Development Strategy Summit): this summit will delve into critical topics such as AI & Upgrading, Sustainability & Compliance, and the International Brand Perspective on Vietnam. With networking a key focus, the event will also include dedicated matchmaking sessions between manufacturers and retail brands.
- Textile Industry Exchange: under the topic of The Trade Uncertainties in 2026, this roundtable event will bring together industry leaders to share valuable insights on critical topics, including tariffs in the US, the EU’s ecodesign regulations, and the impact and opportunities across Asia supply chain.
