One of our annual highlights and services offered to our SpectroNet members are the SpectroNet Collaboration Conferences. On September 17–18, 2025, we met in Zoetermeer, The Netherlands, for two exciting days dedicated to Photonics & Machine Vision for Industrial and Biomedical Applications. Together with our collaboration partner TKH VISION Group, we welcomed researchers, developers, and business leaders from around the world to exchange knowledge, share the latest research results, and present new product innovations.

In addition to well-established network partners, we were delighted to welcome new companies, start-ups, and research institutions, who enriched the event with their expertise and fresh perspectives.

Sponsors & Supporters

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors and supporters, including TKH Security, Opto, and NKT Photonics, whose contributions made this year’s conference a great success.

Highlights of Day 1

Session 1 began with a strong focus on illumination, filters, and optics, covering innovations such as PARMS optical filters, focus tunable lenses, and SWIR LED solutions.

Session 2 followed with cutting-edge talks on spectral and multimodal sensor systems, featuring developments in monolithic spectroscopy, multispectral imaging, and high-performance mini spectral imagers.

Our first keynote, delivered by Jonathan Berte (Robovision BV), challenged participants to rethink vision through AI in his inspiring talk: “When Machines See Differently.”

Session 3 shifted the spotlight to embedded and smart systems, where experts presented agile solutions for drones, smart cameras, and industrial AI-driven imaging.

We closed the first day with Session 4 on AI & Smart Software, highlighting plug-and-play AI anomaly detection, deep 3D matching, and AI-driven hyperspectral analysis.
