ZIM AgriPhotonics Virtual Workshop

As part of the cooperation between Germany and Israel (ZIM), an online conference on Advanced Agriculture and the integration of Photonics in it, will be held on September 8, 2020.

The goals of the conference are to promote mutual acquaintance of those engaged in Advanced Agriculture and those who specialized in Photonics, in both countries, to create an arena for examination of business opportunities and to promote industrial and academic collaborations.

The organizers of the conference are: OpTecBB e.V., Agricultural Research Organization (ARO) - the Volcani Center and Photonics Israel - a competence network for optical technologies in Israel.
