Webinar: Innovation and photonics technologies – Now you can! | EU Industry week

Traditional industry and high-tech companies are invited to the webinar – Innovation and Photonics technologies – Now you can! This webinar will be organized by Center for Physical Science and Technology (FTMC) together with Laser & Engineering Technologies Cluster (LITEK™) on 23rd of March, 2021. It will be organized under the umbrella of EU Industry Week 2021 covering the theme: shaping Europe’s digital future.
FTMC and LITEK™ are partners of two pan-European initiatives – PhotonHUB EUROPE and PULSATE – aiming at bringing photonics in general and laser-based advanced and additive manufacturing technologies closer to industrial SMEs. The opportunity to know, apply and profit from such technologies and digitalization will be presented during this event.
