PhotonDelta Foundation
PhotonDelta is a non-profit organisation supporting an end-to-end value chain in the Netherlands for photonic chips that designs, develops, and manufactures innovative solutions that contribute to a better world. We do so by creating global awareness and promoting the benefits and potential of the Dutch and European photonic chip industry and its technologies. Leveraging funding from the National Growth Fund, alongside strategic investments, we catalyse the acceleration of the photonic chip industry.
Vision
In the foreseeable future, photonic chip technology will enable emerging high-end solutions in communication, computing, and sensing. Therefore, we believe that this will be a key component for worldwide semiconductor technology and will contribute to Sustainable Development Goals. Based on its unique advantages, a flourishing PIC industry will be contributing to Europe’s ambition towards technology leadership in key enabling technologies and strategic autonomy.
Mission
Our mission is to support and accelerate the growth and the maturity of the Integrated Photonics industry inthe Netherlands and Europe. We do so by supporting the companies in the value chain from design to production, to packaging and application in solving the main bottlenecks and create awareness and involve relevant stakeholders in this process.
