The milestone exhibition season continues: autumn with Iteca Exhibitions

International exhibition company Iteca Exhibitions opened its 30th anniversary exhibition season this spring with a series of events conducted to high international standards, attracting over 74,000 visitors from 69 countries. The season featured 12 thematic exhibitions and three international conferences covering key sectors—construction, oil and gas industry and energy, healthcare, food, agriculture, and textile production. The events brought together 2,176 companies from 52 countries, 183 speakers and 2,652 delegates, plus more than 10,000 international specialists.

For the first time, part of the events took place at the new venue—SAEx Uzbekistan, which attracted investor and business attention to the "New Tashkent" and "New Uzbekistan" projects.

The spring season once again confirmed Iteca Exhibitions' leading position in Uzbekistan's exhibition industry and the company's commitment to the standards of the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI). Following independent UFI audits, the season's largest exhibitions—UzBuild and TIHE—confirmed compliance with high international requirements.

Spring set a high pace: successful events united key industry players and outlined the development direction for the entire upcoming year. Ahead lies autumn, packed with events: eight international exhibitions and one major forum. All events will take place at the traditional venue in "Uzexpocentre” NEC.

The autumn season will open with the large-scale Global Textile Days project, uniting the 16th “Central Asian International Textile Machinery Exhibition – CAITME 2025", the 25th Anniversary International Exhibition of Textile and Garment Industry – "TextileExpo Uzbekistan Autumn 2025", and an intensive business program. The events will run September 9–11, 2025 across all exhibition areas of "Uzexpocentre" NEC in Tashkent.

CAITME, according to independent UFI audit data, ranks first among similar events in CIS countries and is second largest on the Eurasian continent. CAITME serves as a platform for showcasing developments by global manufacturers in textile and garment machinery.

TextileExpo Uzbekistan is one of the few exhibition events in Uzbekistan held twice yearly. One of its key objectives is supporting domestic producers and promoting exports. An important and highly valuable practical component of the exhibition is the Buyer Program, which each year attracts an increasing number of manufacturers, wholesale buyers, retailers, and suppliers from both near and far abroad.

Holding a series of vibrant textile events at one venue within Global Textile Days will open unique opportunities to discover the latest trends and innovations in textiles and garment products. Visitors will also see the newest equipment and advanced technologies in action, essential for developing modern production and strengthening competitive market positions.

A landmark continuation of the exhibition season will be the 15th Anniversary International Exhibition on the Plastics and Polymers Industry – Plastex Uzbekistan 2025", running September 23–25, 2025. This year the event reaches a new level: the exhibition will run in expanded format—together with the new 4P Central Asia section, covering key industries of printing, packaging, plastics, and polymers. This combination will ensure participant synergy and create even more business opportunities.

October 7–9 will see the 13th International Exhibition for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, Water Supply, Plumbing, Swimming Pools, Environment and Renewable Energy– Aquatherm® Tashkent 2025" continue the relay.

Aquatherm® is the leading specialized exhibition in this field in Uzbekistan. Note that Aquatherm® is a globally recognized brand owned by Reed Messe Wien GmbH, under which similar exhibitions are held in many countries worldwide. In Uzbekistan, Iteca Exhibitions is the only legal entity with rights to use this brand.

October 28–30, 2025, Iteca Exhibitions will present the 19th International Exhibition "Mining, Metallurgy and Metalworking – MiningMetals Uzbekistan 2025" — one of the leading exhibition events of the mining and metallurgical industry not only in Uzbekistan but throughout the Central Asian region. The exhibition plays an important role in technical support for mining and metallurgical industry development. The foundation of its business program will be the Uzbekistan International Mining & Metals Forum– UIMF 2025, organized by partner company Congresses of Central Asia – CCA. The forum traditionally serves as a scientific-practical complement to the exhibition and a unique platform for professional dialogue and assessments of industry development prospects and trends from leading international experts.

The 30th anniversary season will conclude with a series of industrial exhibitions running November 11–13, 2025, becoming the key event of the autumn business calendar. This large-scale block of events will create unique opportunities for experience sharing, establishing new business contacts, and presenting advanced solutions in transport, security, and innovative technologies.

The 21st International Exhibition "Transport and Logistics – TransLogistica Uzbekistan 2025" will offer suppliers and manufacturers unique access to the latest developments and innovative solutions in transport and logistics.

The 16th International Exhibition "Integrated Security — Securex Uzbekistan 2025" will present a wide range of solutions from basic alarm systems to sophisticated electronic devices and ultra-modern safe mechanisms.

The 4th International Exhibition of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Innovative Technologies - E-TechExpo 2025. Founded in 2022, E-TechExpo has established its place in the electrical engineering exhibition calendar, expanding each year the geography of exhibitors and range of products and technologies presented.

In anticipation of the 30th anniversary autumn season, Iteca Exhibitions once again emphasizes its mission—to be the driving force in developing Uzbekistan's key industries. Under the slogan "Iteca Exhibitions and ICA Events are proud of their contribution to Uzbekistan's economic development!" the company confirms its status as a reliable partner uniting business, government structures, and the professional community, making the company one of the leaders in the country's exhibition industry.

By tradition, all planned autumn exhibition calendar events will become meeting places for leading experts and innovators, where strong partnerships are built and foundations are laid for dynamic business development in the new year.

This special year for the company also prepares bright premieres, working meetings, and innovations. Events organized by Iteca Exhibitions promise to become an integral part of Uzbekistan's business life, facilitating domestic business integration into global economic processes and supporting new industry development.
