Success, innovation and vision take center stage. Silmo Award Istanbul is preparing to honor the very best of the optical industry for the fourth time.

Having established itself as one of the most prestigious awards programs in Türkiye’s optical industry, Silmo Award Istanbul will return for its fourth edition in 2026 with a gala night that celebrates not only achievements, but also the vision shaping the future of the sector. As one of the most distinguished award programs in Türkiye's optical industry, Silmo Award Istanbul will once again bring together the sector’s leading achievements at a gala night on Thursday, November 19, 2026, the second day of the fair, in the Main Foyer of Halls 5, 6 and 7 at Istanbul Expo Center.

This prestigious award program aims to establish a standard that encourages quality, innovation and sustainable development across the entire value chain of the optical industry, from local manufacturers and designers to distributors and retail points. The awards recognize not only outstanding a product and brand, but also the value it brings to the market, the strength of its market presence, and the perspective it contributes to the industry.

Silmo Award Istanbul contributes to the stronger international recognition of Türkiye’s optical industry in the global market, while bringing together all industry players who invest in innovation, develop their design strength and enhance service quality around a shared vision. In this respect, the award program serves as a reference point that shapes not only the present of the sector, but also its international competitiveness.
