As the internationalisation network of the Optics & Photonics Cluster, the project team has set itself the task of promoting the initiation of business-related and cross-border research and development cooperation between Berlin-based stakeholders and partner regions in Poland, Japan, Israel and the USA in the area of optical technologies.
The Photonics and Optoelectronics Network PHOENIX III is a network of Berlin-based stakeholders from the Optics & Photonics Cluster, consisting of the Berlin Partner für Wirtschaft und Technologie GmbH and the OpTecBB e.V.. The network cooperates closely with partner organisations from science and industry in the partner regions.
This project is running from January 2020 until December 2021.
PhotonHub Europe – a new pan-European photonics digital innovation hub – has been awarded €19 million investment from the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme.
PhotonHub Europe will help European SMEs and mid-caps become highly competitive digital businesses through faster and smarter deployment of photonics-based technologies, directly creating over 1.000 new high-tech EU jobs and nearly €1 billion in new revenues and venture capital by 2025.
In order to accelerate the uptake and deployment of photonics technologies by European industry, PhotonHub will establish a single photonics innovation hub which integrates all of the best-in-class photonics technologies, facilities, expertise and experience of 53 top competence centres across Europe under one roof as a one-stop-shop solution with open access for any company anywhere in Europe that wants to innovate with photonics.
