This event was an exceptional opportunity to exchange experiences and engage in fascinating discussions on the challenges and trends in photonic technologies. It was also a unique networking event.

On the first day we had the opportunity to listen to speeches from Carlos Lee - Director General of EPIC, Markus Wilkens - Head of Operations at Photonics21 and Eike Weber from the European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC).

Our stand at the exhibition space attracted attention with colorful crystals, passionately presented by Emil Tymicki and Jaroslaw Sar. We also presented our composites, and we can proudly say that there was a great deal of interest!

The second day of the EPIC meeting was just as exciting as the first! Dr. Andrew Brown - Senior Director of SPIE delivered an extremely engaging presentation on global photonics market trends. Topics related to the dynamics of these markets were also addressed by Dr. Sanjai Parthasarathi - the Chief Marketing Officer of Coherent. In a nutshell - it was a fantastic dose of knowledge and topics for discussion with partners!

The EPIC Summit wass not just about presentations and exhibitors but also valuable discussions!

Participating in the Ownership Models panel discussion were: Ingolf Cedra - Managing Director of HÜBNER Photonics, Chantal GERMAIN - Head of Photonics Department at HEF Groupe and Georg Draude - CEO of Chroma Technology . The panel was brilliantly moderated by none other than Carlos Lee.

We were also happy to congratulate Axel Kupisiewicz - the founder of LASEA, who was awarded the EPIC CEO Award this year! In our opinion, the award was fully deserved!
