W3+ Fair, the enabling technologies trade show, is the place where forward-looking optics, photonics, electronics and mechanics enterprises will meet for the 2nd hosting of this event at the Messequartier Dornbirn exhibition centre. The event is an opportunity for high-tech providers to network in person, and collaborate with application industries in the development of pioneering innovations. N-Tec Talks, the accompanying conference programme, is designed to provide visitors with the latest knowledge and findings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hamburg, 15 June 2021.<\/strong> Called off last year, now it’s back: Following its cancellation in 2020 due to the corona virus, the high-tech specialist trade fair, W3+ Fair Rhine Valley (www.w3-fair.com<\/a>) will be hosted on 22 und 23 September 2021 in the Messequartier Dornbirn exhibition centre<\/strong>, signalling the start of this year’s high-tech autumn event season. The fair is a place where developers and technology providers in the optics, photonics, electronics and mechanics sectors can network and establish contacts with key application industries, such as medical technology, life sciences, mechanical engineering and automotive suppliers. Enabling technologies specialists will be joining forces, seeking to realise new technological solutions. A large number of enterprises are clearly delighted at the resumption of these in-person events, and the opportunity to make face-to-face contacts. Important regional players such as SwissOptic, Evatec, Rhysearch and CSEM from Switzerland, and Swarowski Optik from Austria, and Optics Balzers from Liechtenstein have already confirmed their attendance. And many German-based companies have also registered their interest, including Optotech and scia Systems.<\/p>\n

A key feature of the trade fair will be the new accompanying high-tech conference programme, N-Tec Talks<\/strong>, which will be freely accessible to all participants. This series of events will see top-notch speakers explain trends and present product innovations, and it\u2019s bound to be of interest to product managers, developers and buyers alike.<\/p>\n

Strong backing from numerous trade and industry associations<\/strong><\/p>\n

A large number of associations and trade networks are on board, helping to make the fair a \u201cmust go\u201d event for the industry. Apart from EPIC \u2013 the world’s largest photonics network \u2013 Swissphotonics, the Spectaris trade association, IVAM, Spectronet, Wetzlar Network and \u2013 for the first time \u2013 OptecNet Deutschland are lending their support.<\/p>\n

J\u00f6rg Br\u00fcck, Business Director of organiser, FLEET Events: \u201cWe are greatly looking forward to hosting this event for the second time in the dynamic Rhine Valley region. \u201cOpportunity Valley\u201d is practically tailor-made for the W3+ Fair: It’s home to a large concentration of determinedly innovative R&D-focussed enterprises with a passionate desire to accelerate the realisation of new solutions. We regard our event as pivotal to the high-tech industry. It\u2019s an unmissable opportunity for any company in the Rhine Valley region looking to contribute to technology-based developments, or seeking access to the enterprises operating in this field.\u201d<\/p>\n

Effective safety precautions for all attendees<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rapid cessation of restrictions means that we can expect a resumption of normal trade fair activities for the end of September. As the organiser, FLEET Events and the Messequartier Dornbirn exhibition centre will jointly coordinate the hygiene measures in effect at that time. So, all attendees can look forward to a smooth, worry-free trade fair experience.<\/p>\n

The Rhine Valley high-tech hub<\/strong><\/p>\n

The choice of the Rhine Valley venue is no accident: A region overlapping the boundaries of four countries, it has a particular focus on research & development activities, and is numbered among the Top Ten of Europe’s some 1,200 high-tech hubs. It’s a location where the cross-industry concept of the W3+ Fair is particularly effective. Application industries such as aerospace, the automotive industry, medical technology, life sciences, and tool-making and mechanical engineering all benefit from the multi-disciplinary interaction, just as much as the high-tech sectors themselves. The debut event in September 2019 saw more than 100 national and international exhibitors and speakers engage with over 1,200 visitors from specialist areas.<\/p>\n

About W3+ Fair<\/strong><\/p>\n

The event is based on an industry initiative started in Wetzlar and Middle Hesse to promote networking between the three sectors of optics, electronics and mechanics. The aim is that new connections will pave the way for future-oriented technologies. The trade fair was held for the first time in February 2014 in the Rittal Arena in Wetzlar. Wetzlar Network and EPIC are gold partners of the event. W3+ Fair is organised by the Hamburg-based trade fair and conference organiser FLEET Events (www.fleet-events.de<\/a>). The W3+ Fair Rheintal trade fair was added recently, and celebrated its premi\u00e8re in September 2019 in the four-country region encompassing parts of Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany, with the gold partners EPIC, Swissphotonics and Photonics Austria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tags":[],"press_release_category":[],"class_list":["post-12899","press_release","type-press_release","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/w3-fair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press_release\/12899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/w3-fair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press_release"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/w3-fair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/press_release"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/w3-fair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/w3-fair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12899"},{"taxonomy":"press_release_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/w3-fair.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press_release_category?post=12899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
