Our Story
A 16-year journey from Istanbul to the world
Lider Expo was founded in Istanbul in 2010 to turn the global potential of the Turkish textile and fashion industry into reality.
Today, through fairs across Africa, Central Asia and Eurasia, we connect thousands of Turkish companies with new buyers and markets every year — knowing every fair grows exports, and exports drive jobs and growth.
