Second Baltic Photonics event held from 8th to 10th of October in Vilnius
The 2nd Baltic Photonics business-to-business meeting took place from the 8th to 10th of October in Visoriai Information Technology Park (VITP), Vilnius. The format of the event gives each participant a chance to present their collaboration needs and capabilities and leaves enough time and freedom to have effective business-to-business meetings after the main program. More than 50 participants from ~10 countries clearly indicate that such format is suitable and interesting for not only Baltic photonics stakeholders, but also for companies from surrounding area.

The event was organized in the largest part by VITP and has clearly fulfilled its role as a great place to establish firm business to business contacts which are useful for the Lithuanian and Baltic photonics ecosystem.
