Franziska Zückmantel, an optician from Erfurt, plans to launch a new eyewear industry trade fair named "Leivis" in Leipzig. The event is scheduled for its premiere in May 2028 at the Messe Leipzig grounds. Zückmantel aims to establish a growth-oriented industry platform rather than a small regional exhibition, drawing on her experience running an optical shop. While she reports significant interest in the concept, the project remains in the planning phase; concrete commitments from exhibitors and visitors must still be secured before the fair can proceed.
