Messe München International’s event portfolio, which includes the leading international trade LASER World of PHOTONICS in Munich and the regional trade fair LASER World of PHOTONICS CHINA in Shanghai, is being expanded with the addition of the new event, i.e. LASER World of PHOTONICS INDIA in Mumbai. Messe München brings to India 40 years of experience with events in the laser and photonics sector. By establishing this new business platform, it is supporting increased demand for optical technologies for many branches of the manufacturing industry.
National platform for the growing photonics market

The subtitle of the fair – India's Platform for the Laser and Photonics Community – explains the objective of the new LASER World of PHOTONICS India: The fair will give laser and photonics technology its own national platform and improve its level of recognition in the Indian industry. It will also improve networking between research and industry for the technology’s ongoing development. The use of laser technology promotes progress and growth for various industrial applications in India, and it gives important impetus to research organizations and universities in the Indian photonics sector. The event’s claim – Progress in light – reflects the development and growth opportunities that “light technology” has to offer Indian industry.

Norbert Bargmann, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Messe München GmbH, emphasizes the fact that the move to expand LASER WORLD of PHOTONICS is reaffirmed by the increased internationality and growing numbers of visitors at the international trade fair in Munich and the regional trade fair in Shanghai: “The orientation of the new event in Mumbai corresponds to the interests of our globally active industry. We decided to hold an event in India to support the industry and to tap new markets in India, a country which is growing at a rapid pace. The range of exhibits at the fair supports all photonics sectors. At the same time, the fair’s global expansion strengthens Munich’s position as a hub for the photonics industry.”
