OPTICA - global network for photonics
Membership sealed
Our CEO Simon Schwinger takes a leap forward: "Optica is the leading global network for photonics and optical technologies. In order to make the transfer of research results to industry smoother and to accelerate the market maturity of new technologies, we should be and are already working more closely with the industry. This has convinced us, as we enable our customers to realize technical requirements and specifications into functioning products on a daily basis. We are happy to actively support these processes as a member of Optica."
The Optica network has attracted more than 500 companies and 24,000 individual members from 184 countries since it was founded in 1916. From its headquarters in Washington DC (USA), Optica conferences span the globe with the objective of promoting cross-border and cross-cultural cooperation in optics and photonics.
JAT has been active in the Optica network since it joined in 2024 through CEO Simon Schwinger. In the Corporate Engagement Council, Simon will participate in bringing together research and industry, including at the Global Photonics Economic Forum 2024 in Málaga (ESP). There, he will moderate the panel discussion Strategies for marketing and scaling photonic innovations on a global scale on October 2.
