MAKTEK Eurasia 2026 Shapes International Industry with the “Türkiye is the Key” Vision
The rising cost pressures within the global industry, vulnerabilities in supply chains, and shifting production dynamics are redefining investment and manufacturing decisions. In this era of transformation, MAKTEK Eurasia 2026 positions **TÜRKİYE as the reliable and accessible production base for Eurasia through its “TÜRKİYE is the Key” vision. Against the backdrop of escalating energy and labor costs in Europe and heightened supply chain risks in the Asian market, Türkiye emerges as the new equilibrium point for global production, attributed to its geographical advantages, manufacturing flexibility, and robust industrial infrastructure. Organized by the Tüyap Exhibitions Group in cooperation with TİAD (Machine Tools Industrialists and Business Association) and supported by MİB (Turkish Machine Manufacturers Association) and the Turkish Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Türkiye, the exhibition is scheduled to take place from September 28 to October 3, 2026, at the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center - Istanbul. MAKTEK Eurasia continues to represent one of the most comprehensive industrial gatherings in the Eurasian region, focusing on machine tools and advanced manufacturing technologies
