Invest in Photonics, the business partnering convention held in Bordeaux, France, has announced the names of three key speakers for the December 12th - 13th 2012 event.

They are Pierre Billardon, president of Carl Zeiss France; Hans Nikol, VP LED innovation and strategy at Philips; and Michael Jeon, head of Samsung Ventures Europe.

These key speakers will each kick-off a session focused on a particular market important to the photonics industry and capable of fast growth: cleantech; healthcare; and consumer goods. All sessions will conclude with a round-table.

"Speakers at Invest in Photonics 2012 will agree that this technology underpins the value chain in so many markets," said Giorgio Anania, chairman of Invest in Photonics 2012. "We are very pleased that global brands Zeiss, Philips and Samsung Ventures will take a lead role in this year’s program. These players at the top end of the value chain will give the event an even bigger business-focus."
