SuperNEMO is a next-generation double beta decay experiment based on the successful tracking plus calorimetry design approach of the recently stopped NEMO3 experiment. SuperNEMO can study a range of isotopes, but the baseline isotope is $^{82}$Se. The total isotope mass will be 100--200 kg. A sensitivity to a $0\nu\beta\beta$ half-life greater than $10^{26}$ years can be reached which gives access to Majorana neutrino masses of 50--100 meV. Having successfully completed R&D stage the SuperNEMO Collaboration has commenced the construction of the first module, the Demonstrator. The present status of SuperNEMO program and plan for the nearest future are discussed.
