About Yapı – Turkeybuild Istanbul 2026

As the undisputed leader among Turkish building exhibitions and the longest-running event in Turkey’s construction industry, Yapı – Turkeybuild Istanbul has served for more than four decades as a critical hub connecting Turkish and international exhibitors with buyers, decision-makers and government influencers. The 2026 edition attracted hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of professional visitors from across the Balkans, the Middle East, North Africa and the CIS, reinforcing its role as one of the largest construction exhibitions in the region. Building chemicals, adhesives and bindings were among the core product categories featured prominently at the exhibition. Key themes this year included seismic reinforcement materials, carbon-neutral building solutions, energy efficiency and sustainable construction practices, aligning closely with Turkey’s ongoing post-earthquake reconstruction efforts and its 2053 Net Zero Emission targets.
