SIOF Shanghai
March 11 @ 09:30 - March 13 @ 18:30
THE INTERNATIONAL OPTICAL EXHIBITIONS FOR CHINA China International Optics Fair (CIOF) and China (Shanghai) International Optics Fair (SIOF, the spring session of the CIOF), are the two annual optical shows in China enjoying official endorsement and support. In China, official approval and sponsorship mean half a ticket to success. The shows are equipped with the right credentials:
They are approved by the Ministry of Commerce and supported by the China National Light Industry Council (the former Ministry of Light Industry). The latter is the authorised body supervising the light industry of the country. Optics is one of it.
They are organized by the China Optometry & Optical Association (COOA), the body that governs the optical industry of China, and the Sinolight International Holdings Corporation (SIHC), the state-owned enterprise running intrnational trade in China.
In fact, the dates of the shows fit perfectly into China’s bi-annual procurement seasons. Further, the shows are recognized by the Ministry of Commerce as “Distinguished Optical Exhibitions”.
