SUMMARY:Digital Catapult Day of Photonics
DESCRIPTION:Smart Nano NI Innovation Programme Launch \n\n\n\n\n\nFlummoxed by photonics and what it means? Join us at Queen’s Film Theatre to mark the globally celebrated Day of Photonics\, in partnership with the Smart Nano NI consortium. As we accelerate the practical application of deep tech in manufacturing\, it’s time to highlight how industrial photonics can help optimise production\, improve efficiency and resilience\, and facilitate greater automation. \nThis event will see the launch of the latest Smart Nano NI Innovation Programme – a Technology Access Programme that will connect industry to a unique combination of experts\, cutting-edge equipment and facilities in photonics and future networks. \nAttendees will hear how the programme can accelerate their manufacturing projects\, improve supply chain resilience\, and bring their technological visions to life through deep tech solutions. \nTo shine a light on the application of photonics\, attendees will also learn more about the benefits of deep tech innovations from manufacturers and technology providers across Northern Ireland—ranging from the use of technologies such as machine vision\, optical sensors and laser scanners to inspect products\, refine designs and monitor water quality. \nAttendees will also hear how members of Smart Nano consortium are developing the latest in integrated photonic technologies to enable a range of groundbreaking applications. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nSmart Nano NI is a Northern Ireland consortium collaborating to develop game-changing advanced prototyping and smart manufacturing methods to deliver new technologies. The consortium shares a niche capability around nano manufacturing and world-leading knowledge in photonics. The consortium has been awarded £42.4m UK Research and Innovation’s Strength in Places Fund. The total project value including leveraged funding from other sources is £63.9m. Our collaboration is aimed at driving self-sustaining local industry and economic growth through research and innovation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\nEstablished startups or SMEs seeking to upskill in industrial photonics.\nThose working with photonics technology\, together with businesses looking to learn more about photonics.\nPolicy makers and government representatives.\nAcademics and researchers.\n\nWhy attend? \n\nLearn about the upcoming photonics and future networks Technology Access Programme.\nHear from past programme participants on the benefits of the programme.\nGain insights on how photonics technologies can drive value and boost sustainability efforts across various industries.\nNetwork with peers and industry experts.
