Axetris AG

Axetris is heading to EPFL Forum 2026 in Lausanne. On October 8, meet our team at Europe’s largest student recruitment fair and discover where a career in gas sensing and micro-optics could take you. At Axetris, we develop technologies for applications ranging from environmental monitoring and advanced photonics to optical technologies supporting AI infrastructure. Whether you’re completing your Master’s or PhD, looking for an internship or exploring your next career opportunity, stop by to learn about our work, meet the people behind our technologies and discuss where your expertise could fit at Axetris. 📍 SwissTech Convention Center, Lausanne | Booth R12 We look forward to meeting the engineers, scientists and technology enthusiasts joining us at Forum EPFL.

Demand can accelerate quickly. Building the capacity behind it takes a longer view. At GPEF 2026 in Málaga, Dr. Nicolas Niedhart, CEO of the Leister Group, joined industry leaders to discuss how geopolitics, changing trade patterns and regionalization are influencing global supply chains - and the investment decisions behind them. For Axetris, one market signal is particularly clear: strong demand for silicon lenses is putting capacity firmly in focus. Meeting that demand involves looking beyond the immediate market. Investments in manufacturing capacity and technology have a much longer horizon, shaped by an understanding of what customers will continue to require in the years ahead. As Nicolas shared during the panel, Leister Group thinks in decades when making these decisions. That perspective connects today’s demand with tomorrow’s capabilities - and gives Axetris the foundation to continue investing in micro-optics manufacturing in Switzerland.

Global markets can shift quickly. Technology investments are made for the long term. At the Global Photonics Economic Forum 2026, Axetris and Leister Group CEO Dr. Nicolas Niedhart joined executives and industry leaders to discuss how geopolitics, changing trade patterns and regionalization are influencing supply chains and long-term investment decisions. During the panel “Geopolitics, Supply Chains & Global Representation,” Nicolas shared a perspective shaped by serving customers across global markets: resilience requires decisions that extend beyond short-term market developments. One exchange around price versus availability offered a practical example. Nicolas pointed to availability as the priority, reflecting how dependable supply has become an important consideration for customers and manufacturers alike. That long-term perspective is also reflected in Leister Group’s continued investment in its Swiss manufacturing footprint, including the expansion of Axetris’ micro-optics production capabilities. Switzerland remains a strategic foundation for supplying customers worldwide with reliability, consistent quality and technological expertise. A sincere thank you to Marisa Edmund, Chairman & CEO of Edmund Optics, for chairing the session and guiding the exchange, and to fellow panelists Jason Wildt (Head of Photonics, Jabil), Ross F. Goodman, Esq. (University at Albany, Director - NYS CATN2 and NYS CENN), Shai Lavy (Managing Director, Prolog Optics Ltd.), Andreas Nitze (Head of Government Affairs Germany, ASML) and Jim Hasegawa (President OC Division, SENKO Advanced Components, Inc.) for contributing their perspectives from across the global photonics ecosystem. And a special thank you to Jose Pozo and Optica for bringing the industry together at GPEF and for Jose’s continued commitment to creating dialogue and connections across the global photonics community. Resilient supply chains, long-term investment and the drive to keep innovating - explore Nicolas’ perspectives from GPEF 2026 in our latest Axetris Insight and access the panel preview: https://lnkd.in/e4nMRkrT
