Why is ISM important?
The world’s largest retailers, such as Lidl, Walgreens, Walmart, and Carrefour, attend ISM to discover the latest market innovations. It serves as a platform for manufacturers to showcase their products and trends while giving buyers the opportunity to explore the sector’s innovations under one roof. This synergy makes ISM a key meeting point for manufacturers and distributors alike.
