OIDA Forums and Initiatives

 

Market Studies – OIDA identifies and develops world market statistics in optoelectronics from a user’s and a supplier’s perspective.

 

spotlighting specific industry segments, in order to develop and refine a consensus for five- to ten-year technology trends and to identify key areas for further research.

 

Annual Forum – The Annual Forum is a two-day event which provides an opportunity to meet other industry leaders and to keep abreast of the evolution of important business, technology, and policy developments affecting optoelectronics and to review international markets.

 

Government Relations – OIDA provides a government relations function including publishing position papers and testifying at legislative hearings. This valuable resource is helpful to all members but especially useful to members who cannot support a lobbying or legislative monitoring function. The Washington News section of the OIDA web site brings current, industry-related issues to members.

 

Special Initiatives – OIDA takes on special projects for industry that attack systemic problems or issues. OIDA's status as a neutral third party allows us to marshal resources from government and industry in ways that effectively address pre-competitive market and technology issues. OIDA also assembles resources and teams to address a variety of issues.

 

Industry Activities – OIDA serves companies in the following industries: communications, solar
energy, medical devices, display technologies, optical storage, materials and nanotechnology, sensors, solid-state lighting, and defense and security applications.
