OpTecBB- Delegation Trip to the Netherlands 2025

Zusammenfassung

Alongside Germany, the Netherlands is the photonics nation in Europe. To get an impression of the opportunities for cooperation, we are organizing a trip through two key regions. Arrival and departure by train are included for all registered participants. On the first and second day we will visit Nijmegen with a focus on micro-integration and PIC. We will spend the rest of our stay in Eindhoven with focus on Optics and Photonics. All costs except hotel expenses will be covered by OpTecBB.
