The season of spring launches and announcements is underway in Polish photonics. New initiatives supporting young scientists, lab reports, implementations and publications show the many directions in which the national environment is developing today. In the May issue, we take a look at selected events and announced projects - from different locations and perspectives. |
In the meantime, we invite you to read the PNOP and share information with us, Candela Foundation Polish Technological Platfrom on Photonics |

PhotonQBoost, or photonic and quantum technologies for small and medium-sized companies |
While PhotonHub Europe offers companies access to Europe's leading technology hubs, the new PhotonQBoost project promotes the direct collaboration of a wide range of technology developers and consumers for a more sustainable and resilient business in Europe.
The project, in which the PPTF participates with 6 other European photonics clusters, supports small and medium-sized companies: those creating photonic and quantum solutions for industry or those applying them to their business. PhotonQBoost directly funds development and deployment - it can therefore benefit both technology companies and their customers. The first competition for solutions for industry (projects with a value of EUR 50,000) will be launched at the end of the year.
In addition to funding, PhotonQBoost also offers innovation launch support and partner matchmaking. A target catalogue of services and detailed funding terms are currently being developed.
If your company would like to get information about the offer and competitions first, we invite you to answer a questionnaire (about 10 minutes) to help us tailor it to your needs. |
