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. Competence centres in all fields of photonics and experts in business development and exploitation will meet SMEs from Lithuania, Poland and other EU countries interested in joining the photonics revolution.
