"The EPIC events have an excellent organization with a perfect balance between commercial and technical content. By attending EPIC events the return for son-x has been better than going to any other exhibition or conference. We are proud of being part of EPIC and to contribute to the success of the photonics community in Europe."

Benjamin Bulla

Managing Director at son-x

“We generally appreciate Yole reports provided by EPIC because they not only provide market figures, but also precisely illuminate the technologies and value-added stages and thus provide interesting insights into various applications for us as a material supplier.”

Nadine Roemann

Market Intelligence Manager, Business Unit Advanced Optics at SCHOTT

"As a growing photonics start-up, our unique challenges and opportunities in the high-tech field differ from others. EPIC membership connects us with executives from diverse companies, fostering valuable links and shared experiences. In this rapidly evolving industry, collaboration sparks creativity. Proud to be part of photonics' soaring journey!”

Robert Riedel

CEO at Class 5 Photonics

The EPIC Technology Meeting on Industrial Quantum Photonics Technology at TOPTICA was perfectly organized and the support with photos, presentations, booklet, and everything was outstanding. This is really helpful to build a network and to pass on the insights to colleagues.“
