On behalf of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, I would like to welcome the exhibitors and visitors of the Photonica. Lasers, Optics and Application’2010 International Exhibition.

After brining about a revolution in science and industry 50 year ago, laser optical technology and engineering are still on the forefront of the technological breakthrough. The introduction of laser optical technology and equipment to the strategic industry sectors is an essential condition for modernization of the Russian economy.

I am positive that the Photonics Exhibition will help to translate innovative concepts and developments into specific and profitable economic projects.

I wish you successful exhibiting.
