PROGRAM: in preparation for you
This year’s program will feature a wide range of topics bridging lasers and space technologies. Participants can look forward to talks on laser momentum transfer for propulsion of objects in low Earth orbit, the use of lasers in machining, and diagnostics with LIBS. Presentations will also cover satellite preparation simulations, TVAC compressor systems, and hyperspectral cameras. Panel discussions will focus on Earth observation within the ATLAS project and upcoming ESA challenges. Other highlights include wireless energy infrastructures on the Moon, optical communications for space, and customer-tailored laser systems. The event will also provide opportunities for networking, partner booths, the Crytur Café show, and a final round table, also touching upon topics of the LASER-PRO project.

Take a look at how last year’s edition went.

ROBUSTA 2025 Coffee Plant Contest

Taking care of a coffee plant is just like taking care of relationships – it requires time, patience, and constant attention. Last year, participants of Robusta received a small coffee seedling as a symbol of this idea.
ROBUSTA
Throughout the year, you had the chance to watch it grow, adapt to its environment, and respond to your care – just like the people around us or the customers we nurture.

ROBUSTA 2024 participants, please take a photo of your coffee plant and send it to connect@hilase.cz no later than 3 November 2025. Compete for the title of Robusta 2025’s Most Beautiful Coffee Plant.

The announcement of the winner and the award ceremony will take place on November 13 during the second day of the event. Come and get inspired – and see whose plant has become the most beautiful this year.

We look forward to seeing you!
