From February 25-26, 2019 the W3 Fair+Convention, networking fair for optics, microtechnology and precision engineering, opens its doors for the sixth time in the optics hub of Wetzlar.
 
Apart from regionally-based large corporations such as Leica Microsystems, Carl Zeiss, Hexagon and Pfeiffer Vaccum, together with numerous hidden champions, there were also international key players such as Universal Photonics and Meopta on view in 2018. Over 180 exhibitors met with more then 3100 trade visitors

Special exhibition area “Microtechnologies for Optical Devices” and trade fair forum

The IVAM Microtechnology Network will attend the W3 Fair+Concention with a joint pavilion in the special exhibition area “Microtechnologies for Optical Devices” in 2019. We want to show what microtechnology has to offer in and for the field of optics and photonics.
 
The trade fair will be accompanied by a specialist forum where the exhibitors at the IVAM joint pavilion can present their know-how in areas such as photonics, automotive applications, laser technology, innovation management, design and product development, DIN standards, Industry 4.0, and international business to industry experts.

We are looking forward to meeting you at the IVAM booth at the ground floor, booth D20. 

If you have any questions or want to register, please contact Ms. Orkide Karasu (ok@ivam.de or +49 231 9742 7086).
