W3+ Fair Jena 2026

W3+ Fair - Networking fair and conference for enabling technologies

Get in touch with global players and hidden champions at the W3+ Fair Jena! Get inspired, expand your network and experience two fair days around the future technologies optics, photonics, electronics and mechanics on 24 and 25 September 2026.

As the cradle of the European optics and photonics industry, Jena has long since established itself as a leading high-tech centre in central Germany. International corporations, but also numerous small and medium-sized companies are based here. Jena is not only a centre for
research and development, but also for production for global markets – thanks to the high density of expertise in the economic sectors of optics, photonics, health technology, medical technology and precision engineering.

Best reasons to take part
