The Islamic world meets in Istanbul. 200+ NGOs from more than 60 countries come together under one roof for four days of exhibitions, panels and B2B meetings.
Organised in cooperation with the Union of NGOs of the Islamic World (UNIW) and the Türkiye Voluntary Organizations Foundation (TGTV), the 5th International NGO Fair will take place at the Istanbul Expo Center on 25–28 November 2026.
Bringing together civil society organisations, humanitarian actors and social-impact stakeholders under one roof, the fair offers an important platform to strengthen cooperation networks, increase the sharing of knowledge and experience, and lay the groundwork for joint projects.
