The Lomé International Fair (FIL) will take place from November 27 to December 13, 2026, in the Togolese capital. The announcement was made by the management of the Togolese Center for Exhibitions and Fairs (CETEF), which simultaneously launched the promotional campaign for this major economic event.
Over the years, the FIL has established itself as Togo’s largest commercial platform and a key business hub in West Africa. This 21st edition will be held under the theme: "Lomé, a hub for trade and investment in Africa.”
Organizers aim to build on the strong results of the previous edition, which recorded more than 1,000 exhibitors, over 813,000 visitors, more than 800 business meetings, and nearly 200 contracts signed.
According to Alexandre de Souza, CETEF now seeks to become a permanent space for economic promotion, showcasing local expertise and creating business opportunities.
In the lead-up to the international fair, several economic events are scheduled throughout the year. The 7th edition of the Made in Togo Fair will take place from July 3 to 14, 2026, promoting local products and encouraging national consumption.
The Health and Wellness Exhibition is also scheduled from June 23 to 27, 2026, bringing together stakeholders to discuss prevention, medical innovation, and well-being.
Additionally, regional editions of the Made in Togo Fair will be held in Sokodé in May and Aného in October, aiming to boost trade in the regions and connect producers and entrepreneurs with the opportunities offered by CETEF.
