Photonics Hub Symposium "Optomechatronics"

Optomechatronics is a vital competence across various industries, thanks to its unique blend of optical technology, precision mechanics, and electronics. This multidisciplinary field paves the way for the creation of highly accurate and stable systems, which are indispensable in the semiconductor industry, aerospace, medical technology, and smart manufacturing.
During this two-day event, Photonics Hub, in collaboration with DEMCON, will host the Optomechatronic Days, highlighting the contributions of optomechatronics to the semiconductor industry, life sciences and health, defense and security, and space. Special attention will be given to system engineering, which plays a crucial role in integrating electronics, mechanics, and optics to create well-functioning systems

The two-day event is organised in cooperation with the company DEMOCN focal in Enschede (NL).

As part of the symposium, there will also be a small industry exhibition of the speakers.
