Photonics, a specialty of the Dutch Noord-Brabant area
The Dutch province of Noord-Brabant houses leading global players in photonics: Smart Photonics and Morphotonics.
Photonics is already in wide-spread use. Most are familiar with fiber-optic cables, which transport light signals from A to B. The technology is rapidly advancing, however, allowing for more and more applications to harness the power of light. Building on years of research conducted at Eindhoven University of Technology (TUE), Philips and TNO, the Dutch province of Noord-Brabant has become a worldwide focal point for the advancement of photonics.
Two companies that were founded as spin-offs from said research now set the pace in photonic development on the global stage. Smart Photonics focuses on producing super fast and incredibly energy-efficient chips, whereas Morphotonics is working on production technology to enable new display features like holographic imaging on smartphones or to improve the energy efficiency of solar panels.
