From June 3rd to 5th, 2025, the 6th World Laser Manufacturing Conference (LMN2025) was grandly held at the Hilton Hotel of Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. Co-hosted by China Optics and Optoelectronics Manufactures Association, Guangdong Laser Industry Association, and Shenzhen Laser Intelligent Manufacturing Industry Association, this conference continued the theme of "Intelligent Laser Manufacturing to Light Up the Future", attracting experts, scholars, enterprise representatives, and industry practitioners from around the globe to discuss the innovative applications and development trends of laser technology in the era of intelligent manufacturing.

The conference featured rich and diverse content, with agendas closely focusing on the cutting-edge progress of laser technology and its applications in key manufacturing fields. Five special sub-venues were set up for advanced laser crystal materials, all-solid-state ultrafast laser technology and applications, laser processing technology, coherent ultraviolet-extreme ultraviolet light sources and applications, and laser biomedical technology. These covered the entire laser chain from basic research to industrial applications, injecting strong "light" momentum into the transformation and upgrading of global manufacturing.

During the two-day conference, over a hundred top experts and industry leaders delivered a total of 122 wonderful invited and oral reports. They deeply discussed hot topics such as laser industry policies, market trends, and industry-university-research cooperation. Representatives from government departments interpreted the national and local support policies for the laser industry, providing policy guidance for enterprises; industry analysts conducted a detailed analysis of the development trends of the global laser market, predicting future market growth hotspots and investment directions; experts, scholars, research institutions, and enterprise representatives shared the latest research achievements, solutions to technical bottlenecks, and exchanged ideas on how to accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.

The organizer stated that a highlight of LMN 2025 was placing greater emphasis on the integration and innovation of interdisciplinary fields. The organizer specially set up multiple cross-disciplinary technology forums, aiming to promote the penetration and integration of laser technology with other cutting-edge technologies, giving birth to disruptive technologies and emerging application scenarios.

In addition, the World Laser Manufacturing Conference is not only a highland for academic exchanges but also a bridge for industrial cooperation. The organizer said that the audience of the LMN World Laser Manufacturing Conference includes university researchers, corporate executives, technical directors, etc., covering metal processing, communications, lighting, 3D printing, 3C, automotive manufacturing, aerospace, and other related industries. Whether for establishing business partnerships, seeking customers, or trade cooperation, the LMN 2025 World Laser Manufacturing Conference is a one-stop knowledge sharing and collaboration platform.

The successful conclusion of the 6th World Laser Manufacturing Conference marks another integration of wisdom and collision of ideas in the global laser manufacturing field. We have reason to believe that LMN 2025 will surely write a new chapter in promoting the innovation and application of global laser manufacturing technology and promoting the sustainable prosperity and development of the industry.
