At the Industry Partner Day, which focuses on photonics, researchers from Fraunhofer IPMS and partners from industry will present current projects, technological developments and future prospects.
The topics range from microdisplays, spatial light modulators for holography, integrated photonics and silicon photonics to quantum technologies and optical sensing.
You can look forward to an exciting day with information on the latest advances and the opportunity to network.
From 4 - 10 p.m. we will be celebrating the Fraunhofer IPMS summer party in the courtyard of our institute. We cordially invite you to join us!
