Hi-Tech Forum and 2nd Hi-Acts Network Meeting present: Industry meets accelerator-based technologies

Join us for an exclusive event dedicated to exchanging ideas and fostering collaboration in the field of accelerator-based technologies.

The Hi-Tech Forum and Hi-Acts cordially invite you to join an exclusive event bringing together outstanding experts from science, industry and medicine. This event, hosted by the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf, is an unparalleled opportunity for dialogue and collaboration in a joint forum.

We aim to bring together industry representatives, stakeholders in healthcare, and innovation experts to foster new ideas and collaborative initiatives along the entire value chain of accelerator technologies. Together with you, we will explore current and future possibilities for commercial applications.

We look forward to your participation in this exciting forum to shape the future of accelerator-based innovations.

Keynotes & Speaker

In keynotes and pitch sessions, you can expect current insights into the diverse possibilities for material analysis and material modification using conventional, but also in future novel particle accelerators as well as medical radionuclide production. In addition to contributions from the participating Helmholtz centres DESY, HZDR, GSI, HEREON and HZB, companies such as Amplitude Laser, VON ARDENNE GmbH, Research Instruments and HZDR Innovation GmbH, Cup Contract Labs, ROTOP GmbH and other research institutes will also be presenting their areas of application for accelerator technologies.

Do you like to take an active role?  How you can contribute:

Pitch presentation:

Present your company in a smart 5-minute pitch during the pitch sessions on November 4 and 5, 2024.  For example, how you master challenges for your company or your industry with the help of accelerator technologies.

Poster exhibition:
