NASTEX 2026 welcomed Sheikh Dr Ibrahim Shasho, Mufti of Aleppo, Dean of the Faculty of Sharia at the University of Aleppo and a specialist in Islamic banking, during a visit in which he reviewed the products, technologies and industrial solutions presented at the exhibition.
The visit provided an opportunity to explore the latest developments taking place across Syria’s textile sector and to learn more about the capabilities of participating Syrian and international companies.
During his tour, Sheikh Dr Ibrahim Shasho visited several exhibition pavilions and reviewed modern technologies used in fabric manufacturing, textile production lines, furnishings and other specialised industrial applications.
He also learned about innovations designed to improve the quality of Syrian products, increase production efficiency and enhance the ability of local manufacturers to compete in regional and international markets.
A Platform Bringing Together Industry and Society
The visit forms part of the diverse official, economic, academic and community participation witnessed at NASTEX 2026.
The exhibition brings together representatives of the public and private sectors, businesspeople, investors, economic delegations, academics and community figures under one roof.
This broad participation reflects the growing role of NASTEX as a national platform for dialogue on the future of Syrian industry and the development of its productive sectors.
The visit also highlighted the importance of supporting productive industries and strengthening a culture of work and production as essential pillars of economic and social development.
Syria’s textile sector possesses a long industrial history, specialised expertise and professional capabilities that enable it to benefit from modern technologies and respond to changing market requirements.
Supporting the Future of Syrian Industry
NASTEX continues to attract official, economic, academic and community figures from Syria and abroad.
This participation reinforces the exhibition’s role in bringing together stakeholders involved in developing national industry, supporting investment and strengthening the competitiveness of Syria’s textile sector.
By connecting industrial expertise, technology, investment and institutional dialogue, NASTEX 2026 seeks to create an environment that supports productive partnerships and contributes to the long-term development of Syrian manufacturing.
