Photonics 4 Masterpieces
This Conference organized by Swissphotonics, will take place in the framework of the EPHJ International Tradeshow, the most important annual exhibition for Swiss suppliers of watch industry and micro technology.New technologies in manufacturing, quality assurance, and digitalization have presented companies with numerous challenges in terms of choosing the right technology, investment requirements, personnel, and development.
Decisions are difficult due to the high level of complexity and cross-linking in all industries, and companies need to allow fusion on various levels to remain attractive and competitive. International market pressure from Asian firms is increasing significantly, and many companies are considering allowing greater integration of basic research, industrial research, and R&D to respond.
