Photonics – enabling technologies, still and now more than ever!

Photonics are at the heart of many other innovations.

• Without photonics there are no computers, no internet, no cloud as we know it. 
• Without photonics industry 4.0 will stay at 3.0.
• Without photonics there will be no self-driving vehicles.

Berlin Brandenburg is one of the innovation hotspots in very diverse fields of Photonics, optics, microsystems technologies and quantum technologies. Berlin Brandenburg is also a start-up hotspot in digital and also photonics based technologies.

During this year’s Photonics Days Berlin Brandenburg we want to discuss the latest tech developments, manufacturing and testing challenges and market opportunities with our Berlin and Brandenburg based companies and institutes, with colleagues in Germany and the international community. New challenges and coming breakthroughs in quantum technologies, integrated photonics and the integration of artificial intelligence in photonics are on the horizon of engineering and in industry.

With our 5th Photonics Days Berlin Brandenburg – international innovation Conference we want to bring the regional and international photonics community together again – this year half online and half in presence/hybrid. Our goal is to connect participants from different sectors and regions, so that you can cooperate to innovate and create value for new Photonics-based value chains together.

Photonics Days 2021 is jointly organized by OpTecBB e.V, Cluster Photonics Berlin Brandenburg, and the Enterprise Europe Network Berlin-Brandenburg.
