SILMO ISTANBUL: "everything about eyewear"
- By Editorial Team
SILMO Istanbul is set to bring together the optical industry’s leading brands, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and buyers at the Istanbul Expo Center in November. Established as a key business meeting point for the region, the exhibition provides an environment where companies can strengthen their presence, develop new partnerships and expand into high-potential markets across Eurasia. Driven by the economic momentum of the region and Turkey’s strategic position at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, the Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia, SILMO Istanbul supports business development, encourages market expansion and facilitates connections throughout the optical value chain. Bringing together the entire ecosystem, the exhibition enables professionals to identify new opportunities, broaden their networks and gain valuable insights into the industry’s ongoing evolution.

Innovation will be at the heart of the visitor experience with SILMO Next / Trend Forum. Combining inspiring trend selections, the Futurology area and immersive AI experiences, the programme will highlight the technologies, materials and design approaches driving the optical industry forward while offering professionals practical insight into the opportunities ahead.
Silmo Istanbul takes place from 18th to 21st November 2026.
