EPIC TechWatch at APE
Singapore
In cooperation with



EPIC TechWatch: Photonics Applications Across Life Sciences, Medical, Semiconductor, and Communications

The session will highlights the practical and industrial use of photonics technologies across several key sectors: life-science tools and medical photonics, semiconductor photonics, integrated photonics and flat optics, imaging systems and sensors, lasers and fiber optics, and data center/telecommunications optical components including silicon photonics.

The EPIC TechWatch is a series of short 5-min technology and application pitches from companies member of EPIC – the European Photonics Industry Consortium. Join to get an inspiring snapshot of the latest technologies, products, and developments across multiple photonics markets, and to pick up new ideas for your own projects. Each presentation includes a brief Q&A with the speakers.

The presentations will take place on 5 February 2026 at Sands Expo and Convention Centre (address: 10 Bayfront Ave, Singapore 018956) . Everyone with a ticket to the EXPO can also attend the EPIC TechWatch.
