The Photonics PPP represents a long-term commitment between the European Commission and the Photonics Stakeholders to invest in Europe with the aim of securing Europe's industrial leadership and economic growth in photonics and ist enabled industries. Photonics industry, which is based on about 5000 SMEs across Europe has a highly skilled workforce, and the capability to generate new jobs that attract young people.
The PPP is the basis for a Research and
Innovation strategy and more broadly for an industrial strategy in photonics for Europe for the Horizon 2020 period and beyond.
Current Focus is on the Photonics PPP strategy towards Horizon Europe. For this the PPP provided a new Vision Paper as well as a detailled Multiannual Strategic Roadmap "Europe's Age of Light - How Photonics will power growth and Innovation."
Photonics massively contributs to the EU Programme of Digitizing Europe and Supports solving major Societal Challenges e.g. the Area of Smart Cities, Healthy Life and affordable Food, Transport and Logistics, Manufacturing, Security and Safety.
With this highly innovative industry and four recent Nobel Prizes awarded to European scientists for their work in photonics, Europe is in a very good starting position to accelerate advanced key European initiatives, such as AI, High-Performance Computing, Quantum Communication and Quantum Computing, as well as Smart Cities which all depend on photonics as the key enabling technologyAddress
