Silmo Istanbul: A positive growth trajectory

The third edition of SILMO ISTANBUL has already been launched and is set to take place on 8 – 11 December.

It follows a 2015 edition characterised by an extremely positive business climate and a significant rise in visitor numbers. The organisers intend to pursue their efforts and boost sales initiatives in order to increase exhibitor and visitor numbers.
