The W3+ Fair, networking trade fair and conference for enabling technologies, which opens its doors in Wetzlar/ Germany at the end of March, is also launching for the first time at the traditional location of Jena. The new W3+ Fair Jena will take place on November 29 + 30, 2023. The photonics network OptoNet Jena e.V. from the association of OptecNet Germany and EPIC are supporting as gold partners. The cross-industry platform also wants to pave the way for new, technology-driven innovations in the Jena/Thuringia region.
The popularity of the fair at the new location is very high: a good eight months before the event, there are only a few remaining places. The organiser is currently looking into the option of expanding the hall space. Large and small companies such as Jenoptik, OptoTech, Fisba, DOPA, WZW Optic AG, TNO, LASOS, Layertec, JAT Jenaer Antriebstechnik, POG, Fraunhofer IOF, Spaceoptix, Acktar, SIOS, BATOP, Materion Balzers Optics, PI Physik Instrumente, Mersen and IMT will present their products and services on site.
In addition to the long-standing professional partners such as Photonics Germany, IVAM and SpectroNet, the tridelta campus Hermsdorf and the ThZM Thuringian Centre for Mechanical Engineering and others are new participants - in addition to OptoNet eV. As in Wetzlar, there will be a free accompanying conference in Jena, the en-tech.talks. The "Call for Papers" is now open.
"We are very pleased to be able to bring the W3+ Fair to Jena. We see great potential for local companies and the region: the interdisciplinary networking will strengthen both," explains Nora Kirsten, Managing Director of OptoNet e.V..
"We have had our eye on the location for a long time, but the great demand for the "W3+ Fair Jena" format now makes us very happy. The support and commitment from industry and networks is enormous. Together we will create an innovative marketplace for enabling technologies in Jena," adds Jörg Brück, Project Director at organiser Fleet Events.
