FUTURMODA 2026 in Elche: footwear components and leather trade fair

FUTURMODA is the reference international trade fair for the footwear and leather goods industry: components, hides and skins, textiles, soles, accessories, chemicals and machinery. Held at Fira Alacant – IFA in Elche (Alicante), it brings together over 300 exhibiting firms from Spain, Italy, Portugal, France and other European countries across more than 12,000 m² of exhibition space over two days. The event is designed for footwear and leather goods manufacturers, brands, designers and specialised schools looking to anticipate trends, discover innovative materials and close business opportunities in a fully professional environment. Admission is free of charge with online accreditation. Beyond the exhibition floor, FUTURMODA runs an Experts' Forum with talks and round tables on design, sustainability, regulation and digitalisation, alongside spaces such as Green Planet, focused on sustainable materials and processes, and Lab Talent, aimed at schools, young designers and emerging talent. The October edition focuses on the autumn–winter collection and the technology novelties for the upcoming season. A must-attend event for anyone who wants to be where the industry's future is decided.
