The stage is set for latest textile technologies at ITM Texpo Eurasia 2013 that will be held from 29 May to 1 June 2013 in Istanbul. This year's edition of the show will be held together with the nonwovens and technical textiles show Hightex 2013 and the 10th International Istanbul Yarn Fair. A total of 43,000 visitors from 78 countries had attended the fairs in 2012. Turkey has recognised the textile industry's role as one of the leading sectors in its economy, and has implemented several measures to increase the competitiveness of the sector, including introducing stimulus packages, reducing value-added-tax rates, and increasing tax rates on imported fabric and ready-to-wear garments. They also have made decisions on rationing for quotas on cotton yarn.
