Centre for Advanced Materials and Technologies (CEZAMAT)

Matching Mission in Poland

This event aims to foster collaborations between actors in Photonics & Quantum Technologies and those of the Polish Agrifood & Biotech ecosystem. 

What is PhotonQboost?

We offer a range of funded services to increase the innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability of European SMEs. Our services center on the development and use of solutions powered by Photonics & Quantum Technologies.

Among those funded services, the Matching Missions aim to introduce various sectors of the economy (such as Agrifood & Biotech) to the possibilities that Photonics & Quantum Tech innovations could open for them.

Of course, learning about possibilities is just the start!

This Matching Mission will give you a unique opportunity to start a collaboration with companies of your choice among the other participants in order to apply together to our Open Calls for Funding and/or to apply to our advisory services.

Our Matching Missions are 3-day events with no registration fee.

Expert guidance and follow-up: During and after the mission, selected SMEs may access further tailored support services from PhotonQBoost. 

Access to future funding opportunities: Learn about relevant funding opportunities and build your proposal with the present participants..

Photonics in Poland

Photonics is a thriving sector in the country, with 6 major academic hubs of more than 10 universities, 6 research institutes, and around 100 companies. Europe is the top export destination of the Polish photonics industry. Technological expertise lies mainly (but not only!) in  

  • Materials (for OLED and PV, quantum dots, III-V, GaN, graphene and photonics crystals, soft glasses); 

  • Special optical fibres; 

  • PIC design and nanoprint systems; 

  • Quantum cascade laser, femtosecond lasers; 

  • Special application optics and thin film coatings

Agrifood in Poland

The Polish agrifood sector is considerable: More than 1,200 companies were exporting 44% of their production in 2020, a share that keeps increasing. The sector represents 26% of the industry production in Poland and is quick to take photonics innovations up for production, quality control and disinfection.
