Photonics Days Berlin Brandenburg 2026

In October 2026, the Photonics Days Berlin Brandenburg will serve as a premier international platform for researchers, industry experts, and investors to explore the future of the photonics sector. Featuring more than 100 speakers and 25 technical sessions, the event highlights the technological synergy with this year’s partner countries, Korea and Taiwan. The comprehensive agenda addresses key scientific areas including Heterointegration and Advanced Packaging, Quantum Technologies (BQQT-Berlin Quantum, BaltiQC), and Biophotonics, alongside emerging trends in LIDAR, Ecophotonics, and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs). Furthermore, the conference explores specialized topics such as UV and X-ray applications and solid crystals. Fraunhofer IZM will be represented at the event to showcase its expertise in photonic system integration and to engage in the broader dialogue on the evolving professional landscape, including initiatives like "Women in Photonics." Through the accompanying exhibition and the "Photonics Travel Days," the institute will deepen its collaboration within the global and regional photonics ecosystem.
