Message: ECOC Exhibition Industry Awards

Launched in 2020, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the event, ECOC introduced the ECOC Exhibition Industry Awards, in conjunction with Optical Connections.

The Awards return in 2024 and will once again highlight significant achievements in advancing the business of optical communications, transport, networking, fibre-based products, photonic integration circuits and related developments.

Awards ceremony: Tuesday 24th September from 11:45 in the Product Focus theatre

New for 2024: Post Deadline Awards

At Market Focus we attract the world’s leading technology companies to submit entries for the prestigious Market Focus Awards.  In 2023, we noticed that many companies developing the last products, either announced their products at the ECOC Exhibition, or released information on them via Press Releases just a few days before the ECOC Exhibition started.

Starting in 2024, the Awards Committee are establishing a new competition of Post Deadline Awards where applicants can submit their entries in 2 broad value-chain categories:

  • Optical materials, components, packages, modules etc.

  • Optical Systems, networks, standards, architecture etc.

Post Deadline Awards will open on 2nd September (three weeks before ECOC Exhibition) and close on 16th September, one week before the event takes place. The winners will be announced live at the exhibition in the Product Focus theatre on Tuesday 24th September.

A key criteria for the Post Deadline Awards is ‘world class’ products and technology.  Results need to demonstrate that the product or technology is clearly state-of-the-art and best-in-class.

Further details will be released and how to enter, will be released later in the year.
