🔥 Tapio Kallonen, CEO of Specim, Spectral Imaging Ltd., Joins the Photonics Finland Board, Bringing Strategic Expertise in Hyperspectral Imaging and Photonics Growth! 👉 A Vision for Finland’s Photonics Future 👇 Photonics Finland’s vision for the future encompasses not only innovation but also production on an industrial scale. Finland could grow from a hub of photonics research and development into a global leader in the industrial production of photonics technologies, drawing in large companies and catalyzing new startups. To achieve this, we need the cooperation of all the actors. To support this vision, the new chairman of Photonics Finland’s Scientific Advisory Board, Professor Jyrki Saarinen from the University of Eastern Finland, is intensifying efforts in photonics education. By strengthening partnerships with higher education institutions and integrating photonics education at all levels, Photonics Finland is building the foundation for a robust, future-ready industry. #photonics #technology #development #growth #photonics21

Photonics Finland member Bevenic Oy builts a new factory for more advanced and demanding technology manufacturing needs! 💥

Fotoniikka on jo kaikille tuttua! Kyse on aikamme merkittävimmästä teknologiasta, joka vaikuttaa jo nyt meidän jokaisen arkeen mutta teknologia itsessään jää helposti huomaamatta.

💥 Great news! Sidra -Tul- Muntaha has started as a new Project Manager at Photonics Finland! Her main responsibilities will be to lead and manage our collaborative projects across the Europe during Caroline Amiot’s maternity leave. She will act as the primary point of contact between Photonics Finland, project partners, and European institutions, also facilitate communication and collaboration among all stakeholders. She will participate in Photonics Finland activities such as the Optics & Photonics Days 2025 event, and collaborate with other European partners to apply to new projects. Sidra is originally from Pakistan and six years ago she moved to Finland to built her academic and professional career. She has worked as a Research Scientist at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, gaining valuable experience on Silicon Photonics. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, followed by a master’s degree in Photonics from University of Eastern Finland (UEF). Currently she is completing her PhD in Integrated Photonics through a collaboration between VTT and the UEF, with a focus on integrated optic devices for LiDAR applications. Warm welcome Sidra to join Photonics Finland Team! #photonics #fotoniikka #photonicseu #technology

Great news to Photonics Finland member Dispelix as they have received a significant contract from US. based defence technology company Collins Aerospace, which is one of the world's largest providers of aerospace systems, avionics, interior systems and information management services for commercial aircraft. Congratulations! 👏 #photonics #technology #displays #fotoniikka

The University of Oulu has a specialized microelectronics research group that focuses on materials, manufacturing processes, and applications. The university also has a Centre of Excellence in Information and Communication Technology, 6G Flagship, which studies radio technologies. Its main focus is on RF (Radio frequency) in the study of components, antennas and circuit design. The university has created circuits and is developing the microelectronics needed in 6G technology in various projects. 6G technology requires considerable development at the component level, and nearly 200 people are conducting this research in Oulu. At the event, we will review the national chips strategy (#EU #Chips #Act) and Finland’s priorities related to it. We recognise considerable potential in the concrete initiatives of the EU Chips Act, which are being implemented through various programmes, such as the pilot line development of the Joint Undertaking programme and future calls for funding. Now is the time to put the plans into practice and start generating genuine added value and business! The purpose of the event is to bring together different parties in the microelectronics ecosystem, with a special focus on companies in the sector. —- 6G Flagship: https://www.6gflagship.com World’s first 6G research programme We Are 6G Flagship 6G Flagship is the world’s first 6G research programme, a global leader in 5G adoption, and a preferred research partner in 6G development. We do high-quality 6G research to create future know-how and sustainable solutions for society’s needs in the 2030s. We operate under the University of Oulu, which also funds us together with the Research Council of Finland.
