OIDA's Opportunities & Trends in Optoelectronic Manufacturing Workshop is collocated with OFC/NFOEC 2012.

The event will bring together experts and decision makers in the industry, government, investment sector, and academia to discuss opportunities and trends in optoelectronic manufacturing.

The North American optoelectronics industry has undergone significant changes over the course of the last decade. The escalating end-user demand for bandwidth coupled with the attendant pricing pressures continues to pose significant challenges to the industry. To stay competitive, the industry has addressed this challenge by off-shoring optoelectronic component and board level packaging and assembly. Recently, the US Government has announced a string of initiatives in manufacturing to facilitate development of advanced manufacturing technologies as well as to provide impetus to growth of jobs.

The goal of this one day industry-centric workshop is to examine the economic drivers that lead to off-shoring, to determine what manufacturing technologies and business incentives are needed to facilitate more on shore manufacturing, and to delineate topics of technology focus in optoelectronics that might be used to address government manufacturing initiatives.
