“It was another great edition of the Tech Tour with inspiring speakers and excellent opportunities for discussion and networking. Keep up the good work!”

Robert-Jan Smiths
President of the Executive Board
Eindhoven University of Technology

“The Tech Tour Photonics event has become one of my must-attend agenda items of the year. Always a strong turnout from companies, investors and the wider ecosystem. Superbly organised, a yearly opportunity to meet the who’s who in photonics, a field where Europe could and should win!”

Steven Leuridan
Partner

QBIC

“Last Tech Tour event in Brussels showed that the PIC industry in Europe is not only alive but it’s also getting mature. The number of companies with great business ideas that already evolved into working products, is impressive. Of course, this is a young ecosystem, and we need each other’s help, whether it’s for design, wafers, packaging or just some advise. But at the event,  I noticed that we surely communicate & connect well which will surely result in a thriving industry."
