In the framework of our Nordic Photonics Forum PhotonicSweden is organising a webinar together with Photonics Finland. One topic is now the “PhotonHub Europe” project https://www.photonhub.eu/ will help European SMEs and mid-caps become highly competitive digital businesses through faster and smarter deployment of photonics-based technologies. The presentations will make clear the importance and impact photonics has for our future, and how Photonics21 (and the national platforms and clusters) and the PhotonHub Europe project work. Furthermore, will we discuss and inform about the innovation possibilities for Scandinavian and Baltic SMEs and give insight in Swedish, Finnish, and Baltic Photonics.
