Laser World of Photonics 2025

This year, Fraunhofer ILT will be represented at a total of seven booths at LASER World of Photonics, World of Quantum, MedtechLIVE, and the special show “Photonics meets Robotics.”
At our main booth A3.431, our researchers will present future-oriented solutions in the aerospace, microelectronics, energy, automotive technology markets. Information on innovations in the field of quantum technology will be available in Hall A1 on the “Quantum Alley” and at booth A1.139 at “EIN.Quantum.NRW.” Laser-based solutions for medical technology can be found in Hall A4.218 at “MedtecLIVE.”
In addition, our experts will share their latest insights in a total of 16 presentations, which will take place on five application panels, as well as at the World of Photonics Congress, and at the special show “Photonics meets Robotics: AI Success Stories” in Hall A3.433. Eleven of the sessions will be moderated by a chair from Fraunhofer ILT.
