Polish Technology Platform for Photonics was established on 27 February 2013.
The initiative to establish the Platform is a joint undertaking of companies, scientific units, agencies, associations and funds operating in Poland in the field of photonics.
The purpose of the EU initiative to build European Technology Platforms was to achieve significant effects of economic growth by initiating and implementing innovative activities in public and private partnership. By facing scientific and technical challenges specified in the Europe 2020 Strategy and in Polish strategic documents regarding the development of the country, at present photonics is one of EU key technologies.
Mission:
