The Czech Optical Cluster associates important representatives of the Czech optical industry and research. It was established on 30 November 2017 and is chaired by RNDr. Jiří Nuc from Meopta Přerov. Currently, the Czech Optical Cluster has 19 members. IPE has been cooperating with a number of the members on a long-term basis, now, for example, as part of the National Competence Centers project called Electron and Photon Optics. Companies Thermo Fisher and Ray Service also joined the cluster together with IPE.
