9 September 2026 / 13:30 - 16:30 CST
EPIC TechWatch at CIOE – Optics Innovation Across the Value Chain: Materials, Manufacturing, Metrology, Integration, and Systems
Shenzhen, China
Hosted by



Join us at the EPIC TechWatch at CIOE to explore the best of optics and optics manufacturing.

EPIC, the largest photonics industry association in the world with more than 800 member companies from Europe, is pleased to present experts that will make presentations covering the full optical value chain, from materials such as optical glass, filters, and thin-film coatings to advanced manufacturing, metrology, and system integration. Topics include meta-optics, precision processing, dynamic optics, and high-density fiber components.

These companies along the manufacturing value chain contribute to advancing photonic and optical technologies, playing crucial roles in the innovation and application of these technologies across multiple sectors.

No additional cost is associated with this event. Special registration is also not needed. Althought to attend this session, a person needs to be registered to attend CIOE itself. For registration, please push HERE.

Presentations will be held in Chinese language.
