ESCRS iNovation® Day | 12 September 2025 | Copenhagen, Denmark

The European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) is excited to announce the 4th ESCRS iNovation® Day on Friday, September 12, 2025 from 07:45-16:00 at the Bella Center in Copenhagen, Denmark, immediately prior to the opening of the main ESCRS Congress.

ESCRS iNovation® Day is a truly unique meeting. Not only because it brings together doctors, corporate executives, emerging companies and financial community leaders from across Europe and other parts of the world, but because it is “The Innovation Meeting for Doctors” to review, discuss and shape the future of our industry!

With over 50% of doctor attendees and panelists iNovation® sessions focus on the most urgent clinical needs and barriers to success in anterior segment care. This is far higher doctor representation than any other global ophthalmology innovation meeting.

In 2025 we will cover technology innovations to address barriers and urgent clinical needs within the next 5-10 years with a special focus on artificial intelligence and how it will impact everyday practice. Unique perspectives will be shared by guest speakers from the European investment, regulatory and research communities. We will also continue unique components including a panel with leaders of all the major anterior segment associations and the Innovator Den featuring key doctor innovations.

This year will be a special discussion on medical retina and the fact that almost two-thirds of ESCRS delegates are performing intravitreal injections in their patients.

The programme will be highly interactive, featuring a live chat for comments as well as audience polling to complement the focused panel discussions, with up to 15 emerging company presentations, guest speakers and survey data on attendee and ESCRS delegate interests, trends and concerns.
