This year, the Ministry of Economy is represented at the exhibition with a separate pavilion, where visitors can learn about state support provided through leasing instruments.

LEASING EXPO 2026 is taking place at the Meridian Exhibition Center bringing together leading industry organizations, suppliers, financial and banking institutions, and representatives from various business sectors, creating an ideal environment for establishing new business connections and expanding cooperation. The exhibition features construction equipment, agricultural and industrial equipment, solar panels, vehicles, electric vehicles, trucks and cars, winemaking equipment, as well as banks and leasing organizations.
