Fraunhofer IPMS is excited to participate in the SPIE Photonics West event. This prestigious event brings together some of the most innovative minds and advanced technologies in the photonics industry. Our institute is honored to showcase our latest advancements in areas such as micro-optics, MEMS-based light modulators, and biophotonics.

Researchers and engineers, investors and entrepreneurs, customers and suppliers meet at SPIE AR | VR | MR to create the future of augmented, virtual, and mixed reality. This focus on hardware and enabled content, combined with visionary industry perspectives from technology leaders working in the largest AR/VR/MR companies, startups, and suppliers, makes this event one you'll want to attend every year.

The Mid-Europe Chapter of the Society for Information Display (SID-MEC) invites you to its online conference in January 2026. Under the title “Near-to-eye Augmented-reality Applications”, experts from the display industry and research institutions will discuss current developments and challenges.

Everything that moves the laboratory world! Analytica 2026 From analytics and quality control to biotechnology, life sciences, bioanalytics, diagnostics, and laboratory technology—Analytica 2026 is the leading trade fair for laboratory technology, analytics, and biotechnology. From March 24 to 27, 2026, our scientists will be available to answer your questions at the Munich Exhibition Center. We will present our latest developments in the field of chemical sensor technology, including sensors developed at Fraunhofer IPMS for the detection of ions, ion conductivity, and temperature in aqueous solutions. We will also be demonstrating applications for biotechnology and medical technology in the field of label-free detection with photonic biosensors.

The second iCampµs-Cottbus Conference iCCC2026 from May 05-07, 2026 is in the starting blocks. Like iCCC2024, it is being organized as part of the BMBF structural change project “Innovationscampus Elektronik und Mikrosensorik” (iCampµs) and will take place at the Hotel Radisson Blu at Cottbus main station. The event, planned as a transfer conference, is intended to bring science and industry together, stimulate the fusion of knowledge and ideas and generate new contacts. Sensor technology, digitalization and AI are key technologies here. From knowledge to everyday application, transfer processes are crucial for success.

We are pleased to be the organizer of the 2026 IEEE conference ICICDT (International Conference on IC Design and Technology). Scheduled for June 22 - 24, 2026, this event has long been impressive above all for its open exchange of ideas and family-like character.

We are excited to welcome you once again to Photonix in Tokyo. As a leading international trade fair for lasers and photonics, Photonix unites three specialized exhibitions dedicated to laser processing, optics, and optical metrology/analytics. At Fraunhofer IPMS, we will present our latest innovations for the high-precision steering, control, and shaping of light beams. Visit us from September 30 to October 2, 2026, at Makuhari Messe Tokyo to experience our newest research results firsthand and discuss them with our experts.
