W3+ Fair/ Convention: Talking to Airbus, Dioptic, Schunk and

other technology experts

Scientists, developers, producers and users from the optics, electronics

and mechanics sectors will meet again in February 2019 for networking

and new business at the W3+ Fair/ Convention in Wetzlar. In addition to

the informative exhibition, a high-class lecture program will be offered,

including Key Note lectures by Airbus Operations, Dioptic, Schunk and the

ELI Beamlines laser project. Pupils and students are expected on Student

Day. Tickets are now available at www.w3-

wetzlar.com/en/Visitor/tickets_prices/.

Hamburg, 30 January 2019 - On 25 and 26 February 2019, the Rittal Arena

Wetzlar will be reserved for national and international experts in precision

technologies. Then the W3+ Fair/ Convention trade fair (www.w3-fair.com)

will once again be inviting experts to exchange views and network. World

market leaders and hidden champions have registered for the fair, including

Ametek, Bühler, Zeiss, Coherent, Harmonic Drive, Hiwin, Lang, Nikon,

Pfeiffer Vaccum, and WZW Optic. The Innovation Areas Additive

Production/ 3D Printing - supported by HTAI/ Technologieland Hessen -

and Microtechnologies for Optical Devices - organized by IVAM

International Microtechnology Network - invite visitors to learn about the

latest developments in the fields. The supporting programme, most of

which is open to the public, features interesting speakers and topics: Key

note speakers will include Jean-Michel Asfour from Dioptic, Bastian Schäfer

from Airbus Operations, Ruth Houbertz from Multiphoton Optics, Philipp

Gingter from Schunk Ingenieurkeramik, Stefan Beyer from Vario Optic and

Roberto Knoth from LightTrans to share their knowledge. Tickets are now

available in the ticket shop. The day ticket for the trade fair and supporting

programme costs 25 euros, and those who wish to attend the event on

both days pay 40 euros. Admission is free for pupils and students.

IVAM Lecture Series, EPIC TechWatch and BME Purchasing Manager

Breakfast

The International Microtechnology Network IVAM will accompany its

Special Area on the first day of the trade fair with a series of lectures by

including Avantes, Aerotech and Delta Optical Thin Film, will give short

presentations on the current state of the art and its challenges. The BME,

Association Supply Chain Management, Procurement and Logistics, uses the

interdisciplinary environment and invites its members to a breakfast for

purchasing managers. The current status of the development is presented

by the EU laser project ELI Beamlines, which is based in the Czech Republic.

"The strongest laser of the world" explains, which need there is and for

which enterprises participation could be of interest.

Recruiting opportunities at Student Day, Meet & Match with Xuchang and

current university research

On the second day of the fair, the organiser expects around 300 pupils and

students to attend Student Day. Companies and junior staff can make their

first contacts here. jobvector, the specialised online jobboard for scientists,

physicians, IT specialists and engineers, will help to recruit new specialists

or take the next career steps. The official meeting place is the Jobwall.

Chinese companies from the model region of Xuchang will be in contact

with interested parties at the Meet & Match. The meeting will be organised

by RSBK, the strategy consultancy of former Defence Minister Scharping. In

addition an international Business Matching with representatives from

more than 10 countries takes place, which is accomplished by

Mittelhessen’s regional management association.

The Campus Area is reserved for university research: Among others, the

THM Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen and the Ernst Abbe Hochschule

Jena present their latest scientific findings there.

Around 200 exhibitors and partners as well as over 3000 visitors are

expected at the W3+ Fair/ Convention. "The high-tech market is developing

rapidly. The fair wants to give impulses for the necessary innovations. The

advantage for visitors is that they can gain an overview in the shortest

possible time and initiate cross-sector contacts for new projects. This is just

as true for Wetzlar as it is for our new event in September in the Rhine

Valley," confirms Jörg Brück, Project Director at trade fair organiser Fleet

Events.

Preparations for the trade fair for optics, electronics and

mechanics in full swing

The sixth edition of the network fair W3+ Fair/Convention is

announced: On 25 and 26 February 2019, international experts will

meet again at the high-tech location of Wetzlar to discuss future

technologies. An all-round programme with special areas and

lectures will be offered on the innovation topics "Additive

production/ 3D printing" and "Microtechnologies for optical

devices". New: In September 2019, the successful event will expand

for the first time into the Rhine Valley, which unites the four

countries Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein and Germany.

Hamburg, 10 October 2018 - On 25 and 26 February 2019, the W3+

Fair/Convention trade fair (www.w3-fair.com) will take place for the

sixth time in Wetzlar. The annual industry get-together for precision

technologies such as optics, electronics and mechanics aims to

promote innovations from which high-tech everyday products also

emerge. Several innovations are planned for the upcoming event,

which is aimed at companies, technical developers, users, junior staff

and decision-makers: in 2019, the innovation topics "Additive

production/ 3D printing" and "Microtechnologies for optical devices"

will be on the agenda.

The event will once again be supported by the Gold Partner Duo

Wetzlar Network and the European Photonics Network, EPIC. New to

the ranks of competent partners is the International Association for

Microtechnology, IVAM. Exhibitors who have confirmed their

attendance include OptoTech, Bühler Alzenau, Schneider, Universal

Photonics, WZW Optic, and Meopta. New companies such as Nikon,

Sios, Aerotech and the Swiss company Fisba are expected to attend.

At the last W3+ Fair/Convention at the beginning of 2018, more than

180 companies and partners as well as more than 3000 trade visitors

were present. The event is one of the innovation drivers of the high-

tech location Wetzlar. At the same time it offers companies from

outside easy access to the "optical engineering region" of Central

Hessen. Wetzlar Network Manager Ralf Niggemann explains: "The

W3+ Fair/Convention brings competence and innovation potential

together. This creates new perspectives for companies - whether

from the region or the rest of the world. Reason enough to export

the innovative event concept: At the end of September 2019,

organiser Fleet Events is organising the first W3+ Fair/Convention

Rheintal (www.w3-fair.com). It provides access to companies from

Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein and Germany.

Innovation topics: Additive production/ 3D printing and

Microtechnologies for optical devices

The IHK Lahn-Dill is planning a seminar on "Additive Manufacturing /

3D Printing" - registrations subject to a fee will be possible from

November. A special area is being prepared for this purpose. The new

partner IVAM is organizing an exhibition on the subject of

"Microtechnologies for Optical Devices". Member companies of the

association, including Fisba, Nanos and Sentec, will present the latest

developments in the fields of optics and photonics. The presentation

will be supplemented by lectures open to the public.

W3+ Fair/Convention to expand into the Rhine Valley in 2019

In September 2019, the W3+ Fair/Convention will be an export hit:

the successful event format will then expand for the first time into

the Rhine Valley - the quadrangle of Switzerland, Austria,

Liechtenstein and Germany on Lake Constance. Central competitive

advantage of the valley: the focus on applied research and

development for many industrial sectors. The exhibition hall in

Dornbirn has been booked for 18 and 19 September 2019. Strong

competence partners are also present in the Rhine Valley:

Swissphotonics, EPIC, Spectaris, Wetzlar Network and IVAM have

confirmed their support. "With the new special topics, our strong

partners and our expansion into the Rhine Valley, we also want to

open up new visitor target groups," says Project Director Jörg Brück,

explaining the strategy. "At the same time, the usefulness of the W3+

Fair/Convention for exhibitors and visitors will be further increased".
