Chinese Laser Market Summit 2016
The Chinese Laser Market Summit 2016 will be held in Shanghai at the same time as LASER World of PHOTONICS CHINA and the 11th International Laser Processing and Systems Conference (LPC 2016). It will address important topics in the industry, for example what will be the impact of “Made in China 2025” on the laser technology development trend? How can laser companies benefit from the globalized market? In the current environment of economic slowdown and structural transformation and upgrades, how can SMEs survive or / and continue to grow? Furthermore, the long-term prospects will be discussed by inviting global industrial leaders and leading experts in laser fields to analyze the current market status, discuss the development strategy for companies and predict the market and technology trends for the whole industry.

Topics:

• Overview and forecast of the laser market in China and in the world (2015–2016)
• Strategy of the world's leading laser companies on the Chinese market
• International business opportunities for Chinese laser companies
• Business model and development strategy including capital / financial tools for SMEs.
