Save the date for the 9th Photonic Integration Week in Valencia from 23-25 of February

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce the 9th edition of the Photonic Integration Week (PIW) will take place in Valencia, from the 23rd to the 25th of February 2026, at Universitat Politècnica de València (Ciudad Politécnica de la Innovación, Auditorio del Cubo Azul). Once again stakeholders of the photonics eco-system will meet in Valencia in the nineth edition of the Photonic Integration Week, a three-day event combining keynote presentations, commercial exhibit and time for discussions and networking. This edition aims to highlight the boom of semiconductors at large, and in particular related to photonics. As in previous editions, we will focus on new spin-offs in the field of photonics, as well as strategic companies which employ or may employ integrated photonics in a near-mid future. The selected speakers represent different areas of photonic integration, from technology and applications.

PIW is designed to enable live discussions and networking. The agenda has time allocated for both presentations and business to business (b2b) meetings.
