General information

ESTO 2010 is co-located with Optatec 2010, the International Trade Fair for Future Optical Technologies, Components, Systems and Manufacturing. 

 

The ESTO 2010 Advance Programme is now available and can be downloaded here: ESTO 2010 Advance Programme (pdf-file; 800 KB)

 

Hear about the latest advances and applications for Optical Technologies in:

• Photovoltaics
• Fibre Optics
• LED Technology
• Safety Technology
• Medical Technology
• Standardisation
• Materials for High-Precision Applications

In addition, one session will focus on "Photonics Research Funding on the German and European level". In sessions of 90-120 minutes each, leading national and international experts are going to present the latest trends and cutting-edge developments in the application of Optical Technologies.  To fit into even the busiest visitor and exhibitor schedule, all sessions can be booked separately.

Optatec 2010

The 10th OPTATEC will receive international experts in Frankfurt from 15 through 18 June 2010 with a significantly revised range of offerings, as well as a special presentation of current and future industry focal points.  

524 exhibiting companies from 28 countries, more than 5500 expert visitors – in 2008, the OPTATEC international trade fair for future optical technologies, components, systems and manufacturing once again lived up to its reputation as an industry meeting place with worldwide participation and esteem. The unique mix consisting of a nomenclature which corresponds to actual requirements, a practical industry orientation and an internationally recognised information, communication and procurement platform for hardware and software for the implementation of optical technologies will bring international experts together again at the 10 OPTATEC at the Frankfurt Exhibition Centre from the 15 to 18 June 2010.

"Training & Science" Theme Park: Free exhibition space for universities and research institutes

The goal of the "Training & Science" theme park is to make the event accessible and interesting for scientifically oriented young people, and to further recruit qualified new talent for the Optical Technologies sector. And thus in addition to the special shows, this theme park also encompasses offerings such as a career forum, a university presentation and a guided tour for school pupils.

 

For the first time in 2010, the Optatec organiser P.E. Schall offers universities and research institutes:

• 10 - 20 sqm free exhibition space
• power supply
• common kitchen
• meeting room
• storage space

Other equipment and furniture must be provided by the exhibitors. The exhibitor registration deadline is 15 April 2010.
