Germany’s strong support for industry-academia collaborations in photonics research creates symbiotic relationships that accelerate innovation, promote talent and bridge the gap between R&D and commercial applications. Robust incentives make joint R&D projects a common occurrence, and this enables the development of high-impact technologies that drive the entire optical networking industry forward.
In this session, Christoph Glingener and experts from academia, industry and government will focus on trends in photonics research in Germany. They will discuss national and international collaborations and paths for future research. The event will be followed by a networking reception, during which participants will have an opportunity to engage with a panel that includes leading researchers from across Germany.
