Photonics Moscow

Photonics is an international trade fair for optical technologies and a key platform for the latest developments in photonics, optics, laser technology, and optoelectronics. It takes place annually at the IEC Expocentre in Moscow, bringing together experts from science, industry, and business to showcase innovations and discuss future trends.

The name "Photonics" is derived from the science of photons—the fundamental particles of light that form the foundation of numerous groundbreaking technologies in laser systems, image processing, and optical communication. The fair is organized by the Expocentre in collaboration with the Laser Association, further enhancing its significance within the industry.

Each year, the Expocentre transforms into a meeting point for professionals from around the world seeking insights into the latest advancements in laser technology, optoelectronics, image processing, and biophotonics. The exhibition covers a wide range of topics, from innovative laser applications in industry and medicine to optical components, fiber optic technology, LED lighting, and cutting-edge solutions for quantum technologies and security systems.

Photonics showcases an extensive array of products and services, including high-precision laser systems, optical materials, metrological measuring instruments, and holographic technologies. Companies from mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, medical technology, research and development, and security sectors present their latest innovations. Particularly noteworthy are the expert forums and networking events, which offer valuable opportunities for knowledge exchange and business development.

For Moscow and Russia, the fair holds great significance as it serves as a central marketplace for national and international companies and plays a key role in advancing the country’s photonics industry. The IEC Expocentre, one of Russia’s leading exhibition venues, is well-connected and easily accessible via metro, taxi, or public transport. As a result, "Photonics" is not only a premier industry event but also an ideal platform for one of the world’s most innovative trade fairs.

The Photonics takes place annually, and therefore for the twentieth time previsibly in April 2026 in Moscow.
