Since the launch of COTZL Exhibitions as an initiative dedicated to supporting artisans and small business owners, it has quickly evolved into a meaningful experience with a tangible impact — reflected through clear results and inspiring human stories that highlight its real value on the ground.

These exhibitions were never intended to be merely sales spaces. Instead, they were designed as a comprehensive platform that enables artisans to gain visibility, connect directly with their audience, and build trust in their products. This vision has been clearly reflected in the outcomes achieved across multiple editions.

Numbers That Reflect Real Impact

Etlaa Lel Nour exhibitions have welcomed a wide range of artisans and small business owners from diverse creative fields, including handmade crafts, fine arts, heritage products, and contemporary creations.

The exhibitions also attracted a strong flow of visitors, contributing to direct sales and opening new opportunities for collaboration and growth for many participants. These results demonstrate that local products, when presented in the right environment, have the ability to compete and leave a lasting positive impression on audiences.

Success Stories from the Heart of the Experience

Behind every number lies a real story.

Many participants emphasized that the experience went beyond sales, offering moral support and confidence that encouraged them to continue and further develop their businesses.

An Impact Beyond Sales

Building strong networks among artisans

Encouraging knowledge exchange and collaboration

Strengthening trust in handmade and locally produced goods

Creating a supportive community built on appreciation and shared purpose

This holistic impact is what transformed the exhibitions into a meaningful experience rather than a temporary event.
