ISPA is the leading international platform for piezoceramic composite technologies and their role in advancing component performance in extreme conditions and mission-critical applications. The 2026 year’s theme, "Where Frontiers Meet" highlights the intersection of pioneering materials and frontier applications — from orbit to ocean, from micro-sensing and actuation to structural health monitoring.

Under the theme “Innovations for Our Future,” experts from five Fraunhofer institutes will present the latest technologies and developments at Innotrans 2026 in Berlin from September 22 to 25.

This year's 7th Conference on Laser Polishing LaP will be held for the second time in combination with the 2nd Conference on Laser-based Optics Manufacturing LOM. We look forward to welcoming you to this groundbreaking event that brings together leading experts, researchers and industrialists from the world of laser processing and optics manufacturing.

Shaping the Future of Dry Battery Electrode Processing The Dry Coating Forum is a forum for material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, cell makers and end users to exchange information about current trends, developments and challenges in the field of dry coating technologies.

Europe is investing billions in expanding its semiconductor capabilities. But technological sovereignty isn’t achieved solely through new factories and funding programs—what matters most is how quickly innovations make their way from research to industrial applications. This is exactly where “FIRST by FMD” comes in. With this new European forum for decision-makers and trendsetters, the Research Factory for Microelectronics Germany (FMD) is bringing together leading representatives from industry, research, and politics. FIRST—Fast Innovation through Research in Semiconductor Technologies—will take place on September 30 and October 1, 2026, at the EUREF Campus in Berlin.

Fraunhofer IKTS and EDA invite industrial partners, stakeholders on defence and security technical solutions and interested system designers to the networking event "CapTech - Reliability of Electronic Systems by advanced Simulation Techniques and Innovation of Ceramic Technologies".

Lithium-sulfur batteries are envisaged to enable energy storage devices with high specific energy at low material cost. The recent research provides significant progress in terms of materials for active and passive cell components as well as on understanding of mechanisms finally leading to improved Li-S cell performance.

The 2nd International LAwave User Meeting is a virtual event that for the first time will bring together experts from the coating and material science community that are already benefitting from the LAwave technology and those who are interested in it.
