More than a network

LASER World of PHOTONICS has developed the world’s leading trade fair network. Its global network of trade fairs and their congresses represents the most important marketplaces and think tanks for the global laser and photonics industry and its users.

Made in Germany—home in the world

It started 1973 with LASER World of PHOTONICS in Munich—the world‘s leading platform of the laser and photonics industry—and the World of Photonics Congress—Europe’s largest photonics congress.

This unrivalled combination of trade fair and congress, which brings together research and application, was further developed for the growing markets in China and India. The global network combines innovations and trends with country specific main themes. Precisely tailored to the market. Plus the recipe for success of the mother fair: depicting the entire value chain and bringing together all key players at an international level.
