Latest trends in photonics at Laser World of Photonics

The accompanying Laser World of Photonics Congress will begin on 22 June and bring two Nobel Prize winners to Munich. The two events being held in parallel, World of Quantum and automatica, will also provide exciting added value and a view outside the box.

The next Laser World of Photonics in 2025 will feature a new logo and design that represents the colourful diversity of light.

“More than half a year before the trade fair, all the key players in the industry have already confirmed their participation. As usual, LASER will once again be very international, with exhibitors currently from almost 40 countries and regions, as well as 14 international joint stands,” commented Anke Odouli, Exhibition Director.

With a total of five halls and eleven exhibition areas, the trade fair will cover the entire spectrum of photonic technologies. The Integrated Photonics Area in Hall A2 has been given more space for the addition of a forum area to reflect the growing importance of this branch of photonics.

The event's supporting program will also reflect how diverse the fields of application for photonics are. In four forums with practical presentations, in discussion rounds and in direct dialog, for example, during the guided tours or the special show 'Photons in Production', it will provide expert knowledge on all the applications of the technology. The Innovation Award offers companies and, above all, startups a stage for their innovations. The Career Center provides young talents with information on job prospects and career opportunities in the industry.

With Anne L’Huillier and Ferenc Krausz, two Nobel Prize winners in physics will be represented at the World of Photonics Congress 2025. The industry’s international scientific elite meets every two years at Europe’s largest photonics congress to discuss all aspects of photonics – from the latest research findings to innovative industrial applications.

Next year, it will combine five individual conferences under one roof: The largest is CLEO/Europe-EQEC, which addresses all facets of optical technologies and photonics in the field of basic research. Additionally, there will be four conferences focusing on applied science, namely LiM – Lasers in Manufacturing, Digital Optical Technologies, Optical Metrology and the ECBO – European Conferences on Biomedical Optics.
