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.

FIRST – Fast Innovation through Research in Semiconductor Technologies is the European conference on semiconductor trends, advanced packaging, chiplets and strategic alignment. The decision-level forum brings together leaders from industry, research and policy to discuss semiconductor roadmaps, heterogeneous integration, design infrastructure and industrial implementation within the European semiconductor ecosystem and the EU Chips Act context.

This meeting, hosted by Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS, brings together experts from research, industry, and the quantum ecosystem to explore how quantum chips can be scaled to support emerging technologies and applications. The exchange will focus on key dimensions such as fabrication processes, foundry approaches, scaling strategies, and testing methodologies, and how these elements interact across the value chain.

The Silicon and Silicon-Germanium Epitaxy Users Meeting brings together professionals from across the semiconductor value chain—including industry experts, researchers, and equipment manufacturers—to build a strong network centered on Si and SiGe epitaxy technologies. This meeting is designed as a dedicated platform for technical exchange and community building. It aims to foster collaboration, share knowledge on the latest developments, and provide valuable insights into epitaxial processes, equipment, and characterization techniques.

Are you interested in semiconductors, sensor technology, MEMS and MOEMS or have you always wanted to get an exclusive insight into the world of power electronics, medical technology or the automotive sector? Then visit us from November 10 to 13, 2026 at Semicon Europa, the largest European trade fair for microelectronics. Benefit from an intensive exchange and be curious about our latest developments in the semiconductor field. Our Fraunhofer IPMS scientists are looking forward to welcoming you!

It’s the annual highlight for smart and digital automation. It’s where vision meets execution. From Industrial AI to fully integrated solutions, discover automation at the highest level, live and hands-on.

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.

Sustainable, responsible & embedded – in 2027, embedded world will once again address current megatrends both at the trade show and in the conferences. As a global platform for the embedded community, it will offer an unparalleled insight into the world of embedded systems from March 16–18, 2027, in Nuremberg: from components and modules to operating systems, hardware and software design, and M2M communication.
