Explore the Future of Mobility in Baden-Württemberg – Where Photonics and Quantum Technologies Drive Innovation
Join us in Stuttgart, the heart of Baden-Württemberg, a region globally recognized for its leadership in mobility and automotive excellence. Home to industry giants like Porsche, Mercedes Benz, TRUMPF, ZEISS and Bosch, as well as pioneering SMEs, Baden-Württemberg combines a strong tradition in engineering with cutting-edge research both in Photonics and Quantum Technologies as well as in Mobility.
This unique ecosystem fosters breakthroughs in sensing, imaging, laser technology, connectivity, and quantum-based solutions that are transforming the way we move. From autonomous driving to smart infrastructure, the synergy between mobility and advanced technologies creates unparalleled opportunities for collaboration and growth.
European SMEs in photonics, quantum, and mobility sectors are invited to connect with leading innovators, research institutions, and potential partners in one of Europe’s most dynamic hubs for high-tech development. Discover why Baden-Württemberg is the place where science meets industry – and where the future of mobility begins.
This matching mission is scheduled to allow for your visit to two international trade fairs prior the event:
- VISION, the most important international meeting point on machine vision a where you may experience the latest products, technologies and trend themes such as embedded vision, hyperspectral imaging and deep learning!
- Quantum Effects, where you find everything on application-oriented quantum technologies
Your host, Photonics BW is the innovation network for optical technologies and quantum technologies in Baden-Württemberg.
We look forward to meeting you in Stuttgart!

What is PhotonQboost?
We offer a range of funded services to increase the innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability of European SMEs. Our services center on the development and use of solutions powered by Photonics & Quantum Technologies.
Among those funded services, the Matching Missions aim to introduce various sectors of the economy (such as Mobility) to the possibilities that Photonics & Quantum Tech innovations could open for them.
Of course, learning about possibilities is just the start... We go further!
This Matching Mission will give you a unique opportunity to start a collaboration with companies of your choice among the other participants in order to apply together to our Open Calls for Funding and/or to apply to our advisory services.
Our Matching Missions are 2 or 3-day events with no registration fee.
