Innovation Digest EPHJ 2025 – The Future of High Precision, Down to the Micron!

A comprehensive overview of the 85 innovations set to transform watchmaking, jewellery, medtech and microtechnology.

The EPHJ Trade Show, a true international platform for high precision, has released its Innovation Digest 2025, a trilingual edition (FR/EN/DE) showcasing 85 breakthroughs unveiled this year by start-ups, SMEs, and leading industry groups. It offers a concentrated view of product, machine, and process advances: extreme miniaturization, surface treatments, new materials, laser applications, data/AI-assisted quality control, and industrial sustainability. These innovations serve the high-precision sectors, helping preserve expertise while boosting competitiveness.

‘This Digest highlights solutions ready for production and ideas ready to grow. It is a working tool for manufacturers, design offices, industrial teams and R&D decision-makers, who will find new ideas and inspiration to accelerate concrete projects,’ emphasises Alexandre Catton, director of the EPHJ trade show.

The publication comes at a time when innovation is increasingly recognized as a driver of growth. The 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics honored Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, and Peter Howitt for their research on innovation-led growth, underscoring how technological progress and “disruptive innovation” shape long-term prosperity.

Through this non-exhaustive list, this directory, EPHJ continues its mission: to give visibility to excellence, foster cross-pollination between watchmaking, jewellery, microtech, and medtech, and accelerate connections between brands and suppliers. The Innovation Digest complements the show’s other initiatives, such as the Exhibitors’ Grand Prix, the Innovation Forum, and roundtables that make EPHJ the key convergence point for precision expertise and industrialization.
