The leading international trade fair LASER World of PHOTONICS is where the industry’s foremost manufacturers and start-ups present the latest trends, product innovations and applications for optical technologies.

Its consistent orientation to actual practice is what makes the difference. No other exhibition presents technology in direct combination with industrial applications for various branches of industry and application sectors. In other words, as “light at work.”

This combination of theory and practice, an extensive program of conferences and related events and the presence of all market leaders, decision-makers and users make LASER World of PHOTONICS unique and, at the same time, the most important international information and networking platform for the industrial, research and development sectors. Anyone who exhibits here showcases themselves to the world.

A source of momentum, a contact exchange, a forum for practical applications and an innovation platform—the program of related events at LASER World of PHOTONICS has more to offer than just information on the latest industry topics.

It also features forums, special shows and discussions that create a foundation for joint business projects. Examples include the CEO Round Table, the Talking Trends Photonics Forum, numerous specials on research, technology and the industry, and a get-together for exhibitors and participants of the World of Photonics Congress that is held in conjunction with the fair.
