Webinar
CTO Day - Innovation in Photonics Technologies

Virtual Workshop Swissmem Division Photonics in cooperation with Swissphotonics NTN

Innovation in companies is driven by CTOs who have to be able to develop new products and processes with a limited budget, usually 8-12% of revenues. Innovation is essential to generate strong USP and customer value. Photonics technologies can contribute significantly to attractive novel solutions. Thus, a CTO needs today access to a strong network, local but with European and global connections to be able to produce new products and processes timely and cost effective. In addition, CTOs need to know funding schemes to offload some of the cost and to enlarge their access to novel technologies.

The CTO-Day Innovation in Photonics Technologies is designed to support you in your challenging work by enlarging your network, informing you about funding schemes and strengthening your innovation approaches for the company.

The CTO-Day is for CTO, R&D managers and their top deputies as well as technology driven CEOs of Small SMEs.
