The Spectaris Photonics Association has elected a new Board of Directors and is focusing on continuity and strategic unity. Maik Müller, CEO of Nynomic AG, was confirmed as Chairman of the Board. New to the board are Andrzej Grzesiak from Schott and Oliver Haupt from Coherent LaserSystems, who broaden the industrial perspective of the board and strengthen the continuity of the association's work. The board now includes representatives from companies such as Fraunhofer IOF, Bosch Quantum Sensors and Jenoptik.

Photonics is a key technology for future fields such as quantum technologies, medical technology and aerospace and forms a central part of Germany's high-tech agenda. Maik Müller emphasized the importance of strong representation of the photonics industry's interests in the face of growing geopolitical and technological challenges. The board elections took place as part of the SPECTARIS Photonics Industry Day, which was held at Coherent LaserSystems in Göttingen and promoted the exchange of views on current industrial applications.
