Tradition meets the future in histopathology - experience it with Sakura Finetek at ECP 2025

From 6 to 11 of September 2025, the European Society of Pathology (ESP) will convene pathologists, researchers, and industry leaders to Vienna for its annual European Congress of Pathology (ECP) under the theme “Tradition meets the future”. For Sakura Finetek, this theme reflects who we are: a company deeply rooted in histopathology tradition, with a proud legacy of quality and reliability, yet constantly pushing boundaries to transform the future of diagnostics.

A legacy of trust and a vision for the future

For decades, laboratories worldwide have trusted Sakura to deliver precision, consistency and reliability in histopathology solutions. That trust is built on more than just technology, it comes from decades of collaboration with pathologists, laboratory managers and technicians listening to their needs and helping to address their challenges.

Today, as the premium brand for automated and standardised pre-analytics and advanced staining, we are redefining what is possible in histopathology. We combine our heritage of craftsmanship with a forward-looking approach that empowers laboratories to streamline workflows and deliver diagnoses with greater confidence.

Shaping the conversation on tissue diagnostics

We believe the future of histopathology depends not only on technological innovation but also on the exchange of ideas and expertise. That’s why we created the TDx awareness programme, an initiative designed to bring practitioners together to spark new perspectives and advance the field.

The TDx Advisory Board, comprised of respected experts and practitioners, guides the conversation and ensures that TDx remains impactful and grounded in real-world needs.

Through the TDx Summit, leading voices from across the tissue diagnostics community discuss emerging trends, share best practices and challenge conventional thinking. This is more than an event - it is a collaborative space where tradition’s proven methods meet future-focussed innovation.

With the TDx Knowledge Hub, a platform for articles, whitepapers and other valuable resources, valuable insights are accessible to the wider community. By curating and sharing this knowledge, we aim to inspire progress and encourage pioneering the future of pathology.

End-to-end automation - seamless efficiency from start to finish

Sakura’s vision for pathology goes beyond individual instruments - it's about delivering end-to-end solutions. Our integrated portfolio creates a smooth, automated workflow that reduces manual intervention, improves standardisation, and supports laboratories in meeting growing diagnostic demands with confidence.

Connecting people and ideas

ECP is not just a showcase of innovations, it’s where the global pathology community connects. At Sakura, we see it as an opportunity to not only strengthen relationships but also exchange ideas and work together toward a shared vision of the future. That’s why our booth will be a dedicated space for high-quality business meetings and meaningful discussions with our experts.

Whether you want to learn more about our automated and standardised solutions, contribute to the TDx conversation or explore how we can work together, we look forward to welcoming you.

Join us in Vienna!

The future of histopathology is shaped by those who combine tradition’s strengths with the opportunities of tomorrow.
