Vision-X Dubai is set to see a high volume of new agreements signed, promoting growth and development in the region’s optical and ophthalmic industry. ”

Among the new companies exhibiting in Dubai in 2008 are the Green Company, a handmade eyewear manufacturer from South Africa, and Gelflex, a contact lens specialists from Australia. Vision-X Dubai is also welcoming its first-ever Italian national pavilion.

Supported by the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade (ICE) and the Italian Optical Goods Manufacturers’ Association (ANFAO), companies on the national pavilion will help reinforce the image of the “Made in Italy” brand to trade visitors from across the region.

“Italy sees major business opportunities in the Middle East for specialists and distributors, and we are confident that we will have a positive response from our participation in Vision-X Dubai 2008,” said Dr. Ferdinando, Fiore, Italian trade Commissioner.

“Italian products generate strong demand in markets like the UAE, so we are anticipating high levels of interest from potential partners and customers.”
