Laser technology

Central Bohemia is a recognised leader in Czechia for laser research and development with broad industrial applications. The focal point of the unique expertise is located in the town of Dolní Břežany, home to the renowned ELI Beamlines and HiLASE centres and the Brain4Industry science-industry consortium.

ELI Beamlines, one of the world’s leading laser centres, is the proud owner of one of the most powerful lasers on the planet. As the largest scientific research project in the history of Czechia, it brings together international research teams developing breakthrough technologies with far-reaching implications – from innovative cancer treatments to nuclear waste processing to simulations of extreme conditions in space.

The HiLASE Centre focuses on the development of advanced laser systems for practical applications in the automotive and aerospace industries. These technologies significantly enhance material durability and improve the efficiency of key manufacturing processes. Thanks to its partnership with Brain4Industry, innovative lasers are accelerating the growth of Czech companies, driving the creation of new products and boosting their global competitiveness.

Dolní Břežany has become a strategic hub of science, research and industrial innovation, a place where the future of modern technology is being forged.
