The Hellenic Photonics cluster (HPhos), organised a public event in the framework of the annual cluster members’ assembly, under the subject: “Photonics in Greece: business challenges and opportunities”.
The event was held on Tuesday, 27th March 2018, at NEW HOTEL, Athens. The aim of this event was to introduce Hphos cluster to an audience directly or potentially interested in the prospects of photonics-related activities in Greece. A roadmap towards fulfilment of HPhos strategic goals was also presented.
Moreover, the event aimed in bringing the photonics community closer to various industrial sectors, and setting up a discussion on main challenges, industry trends, industry needs on the way to industry digitalisation, financing issues, public policy on related fields (SMEs, clusters, innovation, photonics etc.).

The European Technology Platform Photonics21 unites the majority of the leading photonics industries and relevant R&D stakeholders along the whole economic value chain throughout Europe. Today Photonics21 has more than 2500 members.

Effective November 2013 the "Photonics 21 Association" - a legal entity under Belgium law - was formed to become the private contract partner in a contractual Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement with the EU Commission in the frame of Horizon 2020, the 8th European Framework Programme for Research & Innovation.
