New Prospects for the Optical Industry

Forum for Innovation - New Prospects for the Optical Industry in the Metropolitan Region Berlin-Brandenburg

On the 13th and 14th of May 2004 at Rathenow (conference and workshops, accompanied by an industrial exhibition)

The optical technologies represent one of the key cross-disciplinary technologies of the 21st century. The optical industry in Berlin-Brandenburg has traditionally been a strong economic force in the region with a powerful potential for development. The current Forum centres on ophthalmic optics and X-ray optics with the purpose of creating and strengthening networks of competence in both these technological areas.

The forum will be organized by ZAB and supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Participants are invited from research institutes and companies working in the technological fields of ophthalmic optics and X-ray optics, as well as systems suppliers, component-suppliers and end-users. The participants will have a very good opportunity to discuss innovative technological solutions and how to support and strengthen the networks of excellence.
