Lithuanian Innovation Centre together with other LASER-PRO Excellence Hub partners in Czechia, Lithuania, and Ukraine and in cooperation with Laser Micromachining Cluster TOOLAS are inviting photonics ecosystem representatives to take part in hybrid B2B matchmaking event, which will be held on 25 September 2026 during the Baltic Photonics 2026.

The B2B matchmaking event is intended for Lithuanian and foreign photonics ecosystems representatives – companies, start-ups, spin-offs, clusters, associations, academia, etc., giving them the opportunity to meet potential buyers and suppliers, research partners, and to get involved in international business cooperation, technology transfer or development of joint projects.

Key Topics addressed:

  • Semiconductors
  • Lasers
  • Photonics
  • Optics
  • and their application in other sectors.

VENUE & REGISTRATION

This is a hybrid event - meetings will be organized on-site in Visoriai Information Technology Park (VITP) (Address: Mokslininku st. 2A, Vilnius, Lithuania) and on-line.
Pre-registration is required for the B2B meetings!
Registration is open until 20 September 2026 on the matchmaking platform https://www.b2match.com/e/baltic-photonics-2026.
