The Micro-Optics Summit & Expo 2024 is organized for everyone who wants to see where innovation is happening in their industry. As a key-enabling technology, micro-optics allows for the miniaturization of optical systems, making them more efficient, lightweight, and cost-effective. The event is set to take place on 2 – 3 December 2024 at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam.

The program during the Micro-Optics Summit & Expo includes speakers from the European supply chain for micro-optics who will present insights into the latest trends in micro-optics, including next-gen optical design, fabrication techniques, and materials science. The Summit includes six key markets:

• Automotive – Innovations in sensors, LiDAR, and lighting systems.
• Consumer (AR/VR/XR) – Enhanced displays and immersive experiences.
• Lighting – Advanced micro-optics for energy-efficient and precise lighting.
• Healthcare – Precision diagnostics and imaging tools.
• Optical Communication – Faster, more efficient data transmission.
• Security & Defense – Optical solutions for surveillance, night vision, and anti-counterfeiting.

Expo – see the innovations

The exhibition will showcase the capabilities of the industry and display the latest technologies in micro-optics, from precision optics manufacturing to high-performance optical components. Here you can meet with the industry leaders of micro-optics in Europe. See what their capabilities are and find the right partners for your next product development.

You can also see the results of partnerships formed in Europe. Members of Phabulous are part of a European funded project, also called phabuloµs, in which they worked on use cases from Hella, Zumtobel, Seisenbacher, Swarovski, and MicroOled. At the expo, you will see the demonstrators. There are also 8 new companies with results, which together will form the heart of the exhibition.
