Turkey to host Istanbul Global E‑Export Summit and Foodist Food & Beverage Expo in September 2026

The Turkey Exporters Assembly (TİM) and the Electronic Trade Operators Association (ETİD) signed a cooperation protocol to boost Turkey’s e‑export ecosystem. The agreement will be highlighted at the Istanbul Global E‑Export Summit (IGEXX) scheduled for 3‑5 September 2026 at the Halic Congress Center. Organisers expect more than 6,000 participants from over 60 countries, 2,500 B2B meetings and a showcase of digital trade opportunities for Turkish exporters.

Separately, the Foodist Istanbul International Food & Beverage Products Exhibition will run from 1‑4 September 2026 at the TÜYAP Messe and Congress Center. Marketed as a B2B platform, the fair aims to connect Turkish food and beverage producers with international buyers, featuring VIP delegations from 50 focus countries and a curated trade environment to accelerate export orders.

Both events are positioned as strategic venues to increase Turkish manufacturers’ visibility in global markets and to foster new commercial partnerships across a wide range of sectors.
