About us
OptecNet Deutschland is the association of eight regional networks in the field of optical technologies at federal level. We work together on international collaborations, Germany-wide public relations for optical technologies, technology transfer, trade fair appearances as well as the promotion of innovation and young talent.
Our goal is to connect business, science and politics and to promote innovation.
Around 600 companies and research institutions are closely networked in the regional networks, whose competencies cover the entire range of “optical technologies made in Germany”.
