Highlights of ECOC 2022 in Switzerland

The ECOC (European Conference on Optical Communication) is the second largest event worldwide in the field of optical communication. This year it took place in Basel, Switzerland. Holding ECOC in Switzerland allows easier access for startups and SMEs in Switzerland in this emerging industry and networking with global key players. Quantum technologies, which are highly relevant for Switzerland, were also an important part of ECOC 2022.

Swissphotonics was part of the organizing committee with Christoph Harder as General Co-Chair and Christian Bosshard as Local Program Chair. ECOC 2022 was a huge success and we will provide a summary and present some of the highlights.
