Investing in Photonics and Microelectronics

Invest in photonics

Photonics and microelectronics are key enabling technologies that hold the promise to solve many of today’s challenges and enable the green and digital transformation. Already, photonics and microelectronics are needed in almost all areas of life: From data communication, biomedicine, energy to environmental technology, manufacturing, automotive and consumer products all the way to quantum computers.
