News › We start the sur­veys for the PHOTONICS Report 2021

Two years have pas­sed since our last sur­vey on busi­ness figu­res and per­son­nel fore­casts. Thanks to the sup­port of many com­pa­nies and rese­arch insti­tu­ti­ons, we have been able to publish a com­pre­hen­sive set of figu­res on the pho­to­nics indus­try in Thu­rin­gia since 2001, which has attrac­ted con­sidera­ble natio­nal and inter­na­tio­nal attention.

As of Febru­ary 1, the sur­veys for our 11th Opto­Net PHOTONICS Report 2021 will start. This year, the about 100 com­pany mem­bers and ano­ther 100 com­pa­nies of the pho­to­nics indus­try will be sur­veyed again. We have com­mis­sio­ned the Insti­tute of Socio­logy at FSU Jena to con­duct the surveys.

Against the back­drop of the pan­de­mic that has been ongo­ing since March 2020 and its impact on busi­ness life, the results this year are of par­ti­cu­lar importance. Only a relia­ble pic­ture of the mood of the busi­ness com­mu­nity will enable us to repre­sent the inte­rests of the indus­try at state and fede­ral level.

As always, the results of the sur­vey will be published in the spring.

We would like to thank all respond­ents for their coope­ra­tion in advance.
