On May 6, we will bring together companies, researchers, and clinical partners around one central question: how can we accelerate the development of photonics‑driven solutions for medical diagnostics, and ensure they are embedded in strong, fundable consortia?

During this interactive session, we connect academic, industrial, and clinical stakeholders to explore and shape public‑private collaborations. The focus is on developing innovative photonics‑driven solutions, including applications for medical diagnostics and food technologies.

What to expect:

• Targeted matchmaking with relevant partners
• Breakout sessions focused on consortium building
• Insights into funding opportunities
• Direct access to the Optical Systems and Integrated Photonics ecosystem

Who is this relevant for?

MedTech companies, photonics and optical system developers, start‑ups and scale‑ups, and system integrators who want to move beyond standalone projects.
