DUBAI: FESPA Middle East is preparing for its second edition from 20th to 22nd January at the Dubai Exhibition Centre. As a global federation of associations for the digital printing, textile, and screen-printing community, FESPA is a non-profit organisation that has reinvested US$9 million into the printing industry worldwide since 2015 through its Profit for Purpose programme.
Profit for Purpose is an international reinvestment initiative designed to channel revenue from FESPA events into supporting the sustainable and profitable growth of the global speciality print community. The programme fosters the development of print businesses by providing market insights and facilitating valuable networking opportunities.
“As a not-for-profit organisation, FESPA has a unique focus, driven by a mission to promote growth and knowledge-sharing in the printing sector and provide ongoing support to the industry worldwide. FESPA Middle East is an important addition to our global portfolio and highlights our commitment
