JENOPTIK

And the winner is ... JENOPTIK! 🎉 Our CEO Dr Stefan Traeger received #ThePioneerAward at the MY WAY Conference in Berlin, Germany! “The award is a fantastic recognition for us as a company, but above all for all our employees around the world, and especially in Thuringia, who have supported our #BleibOffen campaign with great commitment and courage,” said Stefan Traeger at the award ceremony. "The Pioneer Award" is presented to companies and personalities that stand out for their business model, management style, focus and economic success, and not least for their social commitment. We were not only able to convince the jury, but also in the public voting, in which the public could vote for the five nominated companies and personalities. Thank you on behalf of the Jenoptik management and associates for all the support we've received from you in this award voting and our #StayOpen campaign to promote (more) tolerance and open-mindedness! 👏 #MoreLight

Jenoptik will join industry leaders and critical decision makers in DC again as a sponsor of the SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics Photonics Industry Summit on September 25th. With this year’s focus on #optics and #photonics as a key enabler of emerging technology, we look forward hearing from top experts on their plans and expectations for optics and photonics-related programs in key areas such as: directed energy, quantum, fusion ignition, and updates on the CHIPS for America program and EDA Tech Hubs.

Jenoptik is taking the next step towards automated PIC testing for high-volume manufacturing in the #semiconductor industry. How? We're enabling the integration of our opto-electronic UFO Probe® Card into an ATE system. Don't miss Christian Karras' presentation at #ITWS 2024: 📍 Munich, Germany 📅 September 16, 2024 🕕 6 p.m. CEST Be sure to discover more details on the new direct-probe PIC wafer-level test solution for fast wafer probing, such as: ✔ Application scenarios for integrating an opto-electronic probe card into an ATE system. ✔ Challenges of today's wafer sorting (drive to single instead of dual test insertion). ✔ Future standardization requirements for direct probe solutions (focus: high-volume PIC manufacturing). ITWS - European IS-Test Workshop is a technical conference with a focus on wafer probing, probe cards, and probing technologies to address challenges of the industry. We're looking forward to seeing you there! #MoreLight #photonics #innovation

We are proud of our employees and their contribution to the success of JENOPTIK! To recognize their support and achievements – and above all, to say thank you – it has become a tradition to invite our employees from the Jena and Triptis sites with their families to a summer party. For the second time now, we celebrated last Friday on the grounds of the University Sports Club in Jena. We took full advantage of the wonderful weather, with blue skies and sunshine, and there were lots of activities: 🥉 10 football and 15 beach volleyball teams competing for the respective cups – our executive board members, Dr Stefan Traeger, Prisca Havranek-Kosicek and Dr. Ralf Kuschnereit personally taking over the “medal” ceremony. 🧒 a great children's programme - hundreds of kids enjoying cool activities from jumping castles to bumper ball competitions. 🌟    A raffle for not one, but four good causes: 1,500 raffle tickets were sold for a small donation, benefiting various local organisations. 🎉 Of course, a delicious buffet, good music and a lot of dancing in the evening. Thank you to all the guests and the organising team! We look forward to next year already! #MoreLight #Photonics #Jena #Triptis   Photography Jürgen Scheere

Today would have been his 275th birthday. 🎂 Poet, advocate, politician, researcher - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was active in various fields. In the Goethe Laboratory at Friedrich Schiller University Jena everything now revolves around his scientific interests in geology and mineralogy, anatomy and botany. In #Jena, he was instrumental in establishing the Botanical Garden and provided evidence for the intermaxillary bone. The laboratory with its exciting exhibition has found its home in the Botanical Garden's Inspector's House, which was also once the home of the famous poet and is located right next to the ginkgo tree he planted, now known as the Goethe ginkgo. 🌿 Jenoptik has supported the remodelling and exhibition of the Goethe Laboratory with a donation and two optical elements. These elements emphasize the reference to the Goethe Laboratory and the title of the exhibition "The Theory of Design is the Theory of Transformation" in an optical and artistic way with lighting effects on and in the building. The photo shows Dr. Helmut Hühn, the curator of the exhibition.   #MoreLight #Goethe275 📷 Jens Meyer/Universität Jena & JENOPTIK AG

👉 Exactly nine months ago, we shared here on LinkedIn: "We use the potential of light to advance our customers. We are convinced that our strength is also based on #openness. That is why we want to promote openness, diversity, freedom and tolerance beyond our hometown Jena, Thuringia, and Germany. After all, being open is one of our core corporate values. Join us in this endeavor. Let’s stay open." 💪 What a journey it has been. Back then, we were one of the first companies to talk about the values we need as an internationally operating company to be successful in #Thuringia and #Jena. Since then, many others have joined, and we have become part of the grassroots democratic movement Weltoffenes Thüringen. 📣 At the moment you can find our #BleibOffen #StayOpen billboards all over Thuringia, in many small towns and villages. Below is a picture of the billboard in Arnstadt, taken by our employee Sebastian Ritze. We feel that our message is particularly important this week and will hopefully be seen - and supported - by many. #MoreLight #Photonics

We're congratulating our apprentices on their successful graduation! Our CEO Dr. Stefan Traeger and VP Global HR Olaf Drillisch-Saathoff presented 19 young skilled workers from our locations in Jena, Dresden and Villingen-Schwenningen with their certificates. All of them successfully graduated in the past few months and have of course been offered a job. An additional highlight was the opening of a time capsule that each of them wrote at the start of the training program. We are very proud of them and that we were able to accompany them on their career path from the very beginning. #MoreLight #Ausbildung #career

We were happy to share insights into regional trends with around 20 journalists, mainly from abroad. Our CEO Dr. Stefan Traeger welcomed them to our HQs as part of a media day jointly organized by the city of #Jena and Jenoptik. The day's program included talks with the Lord Mayor of Jena Dr. Thomas Nitzsche, representatives of district administration, of JenaWirtschaft - Wirtschaftsförderung Jena and JenaKultur as well as with other entrepreneurs and the founders of the Weltoffenes Thüringen initiative, which promotes open-mindedness in Thuringia. The discussions were mainly related to the development in Eastern Germany and Thuringia, our #BleibOffen (stay open) campaign and the economic situation as well as the impending shortage of skilled workers. We'd like to thank the organizers and supporters for making this a truly insightful day in the run-up to the election in Thuringia in a few days! 📷 Jenoptik

���️ As part of our support of the initiative Weltoffenes Thüringen in Thuringia, it comes as no surprise that we're also supporting their week of action! 🧡 It invites people of all stripes to concerts, talks, family and fun activities. 💛 Why? To promote why democracy, diversity and open-mindedness matter. 💚 Join in, get involved, spread the word, and enjoy the activities! 💙 More information and the event calendar: 🔎 https://lnkd.in/gdubPgZE 💜 Many thanks to the organizers and all other supporters! #BleibOffen #Aktionswoche
