While semi-finalists will be announced online in November, the awards ceremony itself will be part of an elegant gala event on 1 February 2023, during SPIE Photonics West. Photonics Media is the media sponsor for the event.
"The SPIE Prism Awards ceremony is one of the coolest events on the SPIE calendar,” said SPIE CEO Kent Rochford . "Looking back on our previous winners – and even all the finalists – is a terrific reminder of the breadth and impact the photonics industry has on our daily lives. From healthcare to self-driving cars, it’s amazing what light-based technologies can provide. I look forward to celebrating this year’s winners and invite all who do the hard work of bringing photonics technology to market to apply.”
Last year’s Prism Award winners – across categories that encompassed such areas as transportation, scientific lasers, sensing, biomedicine, and quantum technologies – were Luxexcel, PlenOptika, Lumotive, SWIR Vision Systems, LightPath Technologies, Zemax, Civan Lasers, BRELYON, Stuttgart Instruments, and ColdQuanta. Winners from previous years have included then-emerging companies or startups such as Double Helix Optics, PhotoniCare, Luminar, Blackmore, and WaveOptics, as well as more established industry giants like General Electric, IPG Photonics, Edmund Optics, and Leica.
Any photonics or photonics-enabled products launched between 2022 SPIE Photonics West (22-27 January) through September 2022 are eligible. If a product was launched prior to 2022, it may still be eligible based on its current market position.

ees Europe: Green Hydrogen: Opportunities and Production Ramp Up10.6.2026 16:13:00 CEST | Press release
For the major economies, the transformation towards a climate-neutral industry is one of the central tasks for the coming decades. While the European Union has pledged climate neutrality by 2050, China’s goal is to be climate-neutral by 2060. Hydrogen is a key to transforming their manufacturing and energy industry. However, the actual market development is lagging behind these ambitious objectives: According to the Global Energy Report 2025, only 11 percent of hydrogen projects announced since the start of the decade are now in operation or have been secured by investment decisions. This is why ees Europe, Europe’s largest and most international exhibition for batteries and energy storage systems, is putting a spotlight on hydrogen. The newly aligned exhibition segment Hydrogen Dialogue Forum & Expo in hall B2 will be giving in-depth information about the opportunities for hydrogen technology, technological innovation, savings potential and ground-breaking projects from June 23–25.
