Vision
The SightCity trade fair, recognised as the largest international trade fair for aids for the blind and visually impaired, has the vision of providing a platform to showcase innovations and aids that can improve the lives of people with visual impairments. It takes place as a hybrid event that is accessible both live in Frankfurt am Main and digitally to ensure broad accessibility.
The trade fair aims to bring together manufacturers, professionals and end users to promote the exchange of the latest technologies and services. By combining a physical presence at the Kap Europa congress centre in Frankfurt and a digital platform, SightCity enables access for an international audience, regardless of geographical or physical barriers.
Over the years, SightCity has established itself as a permanent fixture in the trade fair calendar and celebrated its 20th anniversary in May 2023. This demonstrates the organisers’ long-term commitment to promoting an inclusive society and supporting people with visual impairments.
The vision of the SightCity exhibition is therefore to create an inclusive and accessible environment where the latest advances in low vision aids are showcased to improve the daily lives and independence of blind and visually impaired people. It strives to be a forum for innovation, education and collaboration while raising public awareness of the challenges and needs of people with visual impairments.
