Bitte um Mitwirkung: Umfrage zur strategischen Autonomie der Photonik am Standort Deutschland

In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Marktforschungsunternehmen TEMATYS führt SPECTARIS daher eine Untersuchung zur strategischen, d.h. zur wirtschaftlichen und technologischen Autonomie der Photonik am Standort Deutschland durch. Ein wesentliches Ziel des Projektes ist es, die Bedeutung der Photonik für andere Schlüssel- und Zukunftsindustrien zu unterstreichen, darzustellen, welche Folgen ein Ausbleiben von Produkten der Photonik für diese Anwendungsbereiche haben könnte und daraus Forderungen in Richtung Politik abzuleiten, um insbesondere die wirtschaftliche Autonomie der Photonik zu stärken.
