Shaping the Immediate Future of Photonics: A Strategic Platform for Industry Leaders

The Third Edition of the Global Photonics Economic Forum will convene September 24 – 25 in Malaga, Spain. Building on the success of the 2024 and 2025 editions, this year the forum will focus on defining and sharing joint strategies to tackle the current volatile geopolitical landscape.

Global photonics and semiconductor industries are facing unprecedented disruption. Rising trade barriers, escalating global tensions, and shifting industrial policies, such as the CHIPS Act and Europe’s strategic autonomy push, are fragmenting supply chains and inflating the cost of doing business. Export controls, investment restrictions, and localization mandates are no longer isolated events. For companies navigating this environment, resilience can no longer be built in isolation. Strategic alliances and cross-border collaboration are now essential to maintain access to critical markets, secure supply chains, and influence future standards.

There is no other forum exclusively dedicated to shaping the global economic future of optics and photonics technologies. It’s not just about the message, it’s about who delivers it. The GPEF brings you direct insights from billion-dollar CEOs and senior executives who are navigating these very challenges. Their collective experience, strategic vision, and real-world solutions will shape the conversations and collaborations that will define the future of our industry.

New Origin will be present on both days.
