Following its launch in Dubai 2024, FESPA Middle East is preparing for its second edition from 20-22 January 2025 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre. As the global association for the digital print, textile and screen printing industries, FESPA is a non-profit organisation that has reinvested nine million US dollars into the print industry worldwide since 2015 as part of its Profit for Purpose programme.
Profit for Purpose is an international reinvestment initiative that aims to channel the proceeds from FESPA events into supporting the sustainable and profitable growth of the global speciality print industry. Reinvestment initiative activities include the creation of technical and sustainability guides available to FESPA members.
‘As a not-for-profit organisation, FESPA has a unique focus driven by a mission to promote growth and knowledge sharing in the print industry and to continuously support the sector worldwide. FESPA Middle East is an important addition to our global portfolio and emphasises our commitment to promoting the thriving print sector in the region. This clearly sets us apart from other trade show organisers,’ says Bazil Cassim, Regional Manager of FESPA Middle East.
With a global network of more than 14,000 members, FESPA has created a range of benefits to support those working in the industry. Industry professionals in the MENA region can sign up for FESPA Direct Membership to gain access to the curated materials and forum.
On the show floor, interested visitors can participate in the FESPA Leadership Exchange (FLEX), a conference series with international speakers and experts from the print industry on topics such as business building, personalisation, new technologies and future visions, brand perspective and sustainability in print. The event will also host the World Wrap Masters Middle East, part of a global competition series where wrap installers demonstrate skill, expertise and technique. In addition, FESPA Middle East will offer wrap demonstrations in partnership with the Wrap Institute, providing techniques, tips and guidance for professionals in the wrap industry. The Sustainability Spotlight stand will also be back, giving visitors the opportunity to view a display of over 100 samples of sustainable print materials.
