Please note, preferably register only one person per company for best possible networking.

This EPIC Technology Meeting on Photonics for Space will explore the latest technological developments, emerging challenges, and scalability opportunities for photonics applications in the space sector towards 2027.

Over two days, the meeting features four focused sessions:

  • Optical Communications for mega-constellations
  • Photonic Integrated Circuits for Space
  • Photonic sensing & LiDAR for EO and navigation
  • Quantum photonics and harsh environments technologies for Space

Hosted by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in Tenerife, Spain, this event offers a unique setting for in-depth technical discussions. It brings together industry leaders, satellite integrators, space agencies, photonic component suppliers, and end-users from the European photonics and space communities.

Participants will gain valuable insights into cutting-edge photonics solutions, identify new collaboration and business opportunities, and strengthen their professional network in this rapidly evolving field.
