Strategic sectors in one venue: Baku’s exhibition map for 2026
Baku, January 22, AZERTAC
The year 2026 has been declared the “Year of Urban Planning and Architecture” with the decree of President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev. Within the framework of the “Year of Urban Planning and Architecture”, the promotion of sustainable urban development, the application of modern architectural approaches, the use of innovative technologies, and the adoption of international experience have been identified as key priorities.
Guided by these strategic priorities, the international exhibitions and forums to be held in Baku in 2026 will be of particular importance in terms of developing the urban environment, modernizing infrastructure, and strengthening interaction across various industrial sectors, Iteca Caspian told AZERTAC. Throughout the year, Azerbaijan’s capital city will host international exhibitions covering agriculture, food industry, energy, logistics and transport, defense, security, construction, and healthcare. These events will be organized by Iteca Caspian and Caspian Event Organisers.
The exhibitions will serve as important platforms for cooperation, exchange of expertise, and business networking for local and international companies, government bodies, and industry professionals alike.
All exhibitions are organized with the support of relevant state institutions and sector-specific authorities.
Spring–Summer Season: An Intensive Exhibition Period in May and June
The 2026 exhibition season will begin in May with several large-scale international events held in parallel.

It should be noted that in 2026 the Caspian Agro exhibition will be held under a new brand — Caspian Agro Week.

These exhibitions will form a unified platform showcasing the latest technologies and solutions across agriculture, food production and processing, and the HORECA sector.
From 1 to 3 June, one of the most significant and large-scale events of the year - Baku Energy Week will take place in Azerbaijan. Within the framework of Baku Energy Week, international exhibitions and forums covering key areas of the energy sector will be organized. The event serves as an important global platform for dialogue on energy security, energy transition, renewable energy sources, innovations in the oil and gas industry, and sustainable development.

Autumn Season: Exhibitions of Strategic Importance
Being as one of the most authoritative and significant platforms for the defense industry in the region, and a key event showcasing the strength and potential of Azerbaijan’s defense industry complex to the world, the 6th Azerbaijan International Defence Exhibition - ADEX will be held on 30 September - 2 October at the Baku Expo Centre. Over the years, the exhibition has established itself as a reliable national brand and secured a prominent place in the exhibition calendars of leading global defense industry companies. The exhibition will showcase defense technologies, military equipment, security systems, and related products.
The 15th Anniversary International Exhibition for Internal Security, Safety and Rescue Equipment - Securex Caspian will also be organized on the same dates.

International exhibitions play a vital role in the development of business tourism in Azerbaijan, while also attracting innovative technologies and investments to the country and creating new opportunities.
The arrival of large numbers of business visitors requires highly coordinated operations across all service sectors — including hotels, restaurants, transport companies, and other service providers. As a result, exhibitions generate a multiplier effect, stimulate business activity, contribute to the development of the hospitality and transport sectors, and further strengthen the country’s investment attractiveness.
Thus, the exhibitions organized by Iteca Caspian and Caspian Event Organisers position Baku as one of the key centers for international dialogue, technology exchange, and business cooperation across various industries.
