INLEAP Photonics has been recognized as one of the “Digital Startups of the Year 2025” at the leading startup trade fair Bits & Pretzels in Munich. The award is presented annually by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) and honors young companies that have successfully established themselves in the market within a short period of time and create measurable value for industry and society through their technology.

New standards in laser-based material processing

As a spin-off from the Laser Zentrum Hannover, INLEAP Photonics develops INLEAP® FASTLIGHT®, an ultra-fast digital laser beam steering system that sets new standards in efficiency, precision, and process reliability. The technology addresses key challenges in industrial manufacturing – for example in battery cell production and photovoltaics – making a tangible contribution to technological sovereignty and the energy transition.

The award confirms the successful transfer of high-performance technology from research into market-ready applications and underscores the relevance of INLEAP Photonics for industrial transformation.
