Tamil Nadu And Messe Frankfurt Join Hands To Launch Techtextil India Summit In Coimbatore

Tamil Nadu has taken a decisive step to strengthen its position in the global technical textiles landscape. Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs India has signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Textiles and Guidance Tamil Nadu to launch the Techtextil India Summit in Coimbatore. The summit is scheduled to debut on 26 and 27 November 2026 at CODISSIA and will be held every alternate year.

The collaboration aims to create a high impact knowledge and networking platform focused on technical textiles, nonwovens and composites. Tamil Nadu already accounts for over 35% of India’s textile and apparel production and hosts one of the country’s largest clusters of spinning, knitting and processing units. Industry estimates place India’s technical textiles market at over US$22 billion, growing at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 10%, driven by demand from infrastructure, healthcare, mobility and sustainability focused applications.

The Coimbatore summit is expected to strengthen industry academia linkages, support MSME participation and attract global technology providers and investors. Policy level backing from the state government is likely to accelerate adoption of advanced materials, functional textiles and high value manufacturing. Stakeholders such as research institutions, universities and sectoral agencies will play a key role in shaping the event’s technical depth and commercial relevance. The initiative reinforces Tamil Nadu’s ambition to move up the textile value chain and emerge as a national hub for next generation technical textile solutions.
