What Are National Participation Fairs?
National participation is the collective participation of Turkish companies in international fairs under the Turkey Pavilion, coordinated by the Ministry of Trade and exporters' associations. Compared to individual participation, this lower-cost, government-supported and prestigious model provides Turkish exporters with a strong collective presence at global fairs.
Since 1994, Delta Expo Travel Agency has been organizing all the travel logistics of national participation groups: group flight reservations, accommodation near the fair, airport transfers and visa consultancy. Participating companies leave the travel process to us and focus on business meetings.
Government and Institutional Supports
National participation programs are supported by various government institutions. These supports significantly reduce companies' costs for fairs abroad.
| Institution | Type of Support | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Ministry of Trade | Stand Support | Within the scope of national participation, the government covers a large portion of stand rental and setup costs. It varies according to the number of participants and the fair. |
| TIM — Turkish Exporters Assembly | Support for Fairs Abroad | Provides additional supports covering travel and promotion expenses for TIM member exporters at national participation fairs. |
| KOSGEB | SME Supports | Special fair participation support programs are available for KOSGEB-certified small and medium-sized businesses. |
| Development Agencies | Regional Supports | Regional development agencies provide support for participation in fairs abroad to exporting companies on a provincial basis. |
Sectors and Featured Fairs
National participation organizations are carried out in many sectors where Turkish exports are strong. Below is the general framework of national participation activities in these sectors; Turkey Pavilion organizations can be held for different international fairs throughout the year in each sector.
Building and Construction
Building materials, construction equipment and prefabricated systems
Turkish companies hold a strong position in the European, Middle Eastern and North African markets in the field of building materials, construction equipment and plumbing systems. National participation in international fairs held in this sector offers important opportunities, especially for companies wishing to enter the Gulf countries and the European market.
Automotive and Supplier Industry
Automotive, spare parts, automotive supplier industry and service equipment
The automotive supplier industry is one of Turkey's strongest export items. Companies producing spare parts, accessories and service equipment can take their place under the Turkey Pavilion at international automotive fairs in the European, Asian and American markets thanks to national participation organizations.
Food and Beverage
Food, beverage, packaging and food processing technologies
The food and beverage sector is one of the locomotive areas of Turkish exports. Companies producing processed food, confectionery, dried fruit, olive oil and packaging products establish new export connections by taking part in the world's leading food fairs through national participation organizations.
Textile and Ready-to-Wear
Textile, ready-to-wear, leather, carpet and home textiles
Textile and ready-to-wear are among the sectors in which Turkey has traditionally been strongest. Home textile, carpet, leather and ready-to-wear manufacturers find the opportunity to present Turkish quality to global buyers at national participation organizations at international textile fairs.
Agriculture and Agricultural Machinery
Agriculture, livestock, agricultural machinery and garden products
The agricultural machinery and equipment sector is one of the areas that has rapidly increased its exports in recent years. Companies producing tractors, equipment and irrigation systems take part in agricultural fairs, especially in the African, Middle Eastern and European markets, through national participation organizations.
General Trade and Other Sectors
Large international trade fairs covering all sectors
In addition to the above sectors, national participation organizations are held in machinery, health and medical, furniture, chemicals and many different fields. Broad-scope international trade fairs allow companies from different sectors to represent Turkey under the same roof.
In 2026, there are more than 185 national participation organizations within the scope of Ministry of Trade support. The list of supported fairs is updated every year; for current national participation fairs suitable for your sector and application requirements, we recommend reviewing the official sources of the Ministry of Trade and the relevant Exporters' Association.
Advantages of National Participation
Cost Advantage
Up to 30% savings compared to individual participation with group tickets and accommodation reservations. Stand costs are covered by the government.
Prestigious Pavilion Presence
The Turkey Pavilion is one of the most eye-catching areas at fairs. It provides much greater visual impact and brand awareness than individual participation.
Embassy Coordination
Embassy coordination is provided in national participation groups; there is the opportunity for priority access to official meetings and B2B events.
Sectoral Networking
Intra-sector collaboration and partnership opportunities naturally develop with other Turkish exporters located in the same pavilion.
