Silmo looks to the future

Silmo has outlined plans to protect and enhance the optical and eyewear industry through this year’s event in Paris on October 2–5.

Organisers of the show shared that over 700 companies have confirmed their registration and invited the profession to picture itself in the future.

Amélie Morel, chairman of Silmo Paris, said: ‘Since the lifting of lockdown has been unfolding smoothly throughout Europe, we are very optimistic and are more determined than ever to propose a forward-looking 2020 edition rich in innovative content and friendly, inspiring encounters.’

Its Silmo Next area has been organised into five spaces and will cover corporate social responsibility, innovation in technology, trend developments, the Silmo d’Or awards and Meilleurs Ouvriers de France, which will focus on craftsmanship and local sourcing.
