Paper mills, tissue manufacturers, machinery companies, packaging producers, recyclers and hygiene-product businesses will gather at Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 to 18 November 2026 when Paper Arabia returns to Hall 4. The specialised B2B exhibition covers paper, board, pulp, tissue, nonwovens, hygiene products, disposable products, converting machinery and related industrial technologies. The organiser currently lists around 120 exhibitors from 28 countries and approximately 7,500 visitors across its event platform. Unlike Paperworld Middle East, which focuses heavily on stationery and office products, Paper Arabia sits much further upstream in the industrial paper supply chain. It is about how paper is made.

Fashion buyers, designers, retailers, wholesalers and clothing manufacturers will gather at Dubai World Trade Centre from 16 to 18 November 2026 when the International Apparel & Textile Fair returns for its November sourcing edition.

More than 400 exhibitors are expected across three days, bringing international manufacturers and mills directly into contact with buyers serving the Middle East and North Africa.

The exhibition takes place in Sheikh Saeed Halls 1 to 3 and combines a large education-supplies marketplace with workshops, demonstrations, CPD-accredited conference sessions and discussions covering EdTech, artificial intelligence, school leadership and classroom practice.

Farmers, agricultural technology companies, investors, government authorities and food-security specialists will gather at Dubai World Trade Centre from 26 to 28 October 2026 when Growtech Middle East returns with a significantly expanded platform covering agriculture, aquaculture, livestock, poultry and animal health. The exhibition is expected to bring together 150 exhibitors, more than 9,000 attendees from over 80 countries and approximately 8,000 square metres of exhibition space. For a region known for extreme heat, limited freshwater resources and heavy food-import dependence, agriculture is not simply a traditional industry. It is a strategic question. How can more food be produced using less water? Can controlled-environment agriculture compete
