Photonics Precision Technologies (Business Edition)
All things business of photonics and photonics products
The business edition of Photonics Precision News is changing its designation. The new title recovers the original name of this project but with the addition of a bracket indicating it is the Business Edition. The other edition will continue with the same name and be numbered.
In this week’s edition readers will read about the recently PIC International conference event that happened physically in a Brussels’ hotel venue.(PIC stands for Photonic Integrated Circuits). It was the 6th edition of this conference, and its has exceeded expectations. Photonics Precision Technologies’ founder/writer/entrepreneur was not present physically, but some of his social/business connections testify to the positive outcome of this gathering of photonics industry professionals. The link I share today is a nice resume of what happened in this conference which had the greatest relevance for PIC written by a prominent figure in the industry.
The other interesting resource readers will be able to access (unlocking respective paywall) concerns another business acquisition/combination by a company of the semiconductor sector of a photonics components entreprise. In this case the photonics business is TeraXion, and the semiconductor business is Indie Semiconductor. This is a somewhat old news input for this newsletter now (it dates back to August 2021), something I find normal in this industry given its long-term business outlook, but it only raised this newsletter awereness recently. Anyway the business transaction is only expected to close in Q4 2021 - in the following weeks thence. This link/resource is from TeraXion website’s news section and it is a good read from a mix of technical and business perspectives.
Finally this edition will also inaugurate today a new section: multimedia/webcasts/websites on photonics product showcases. It comes from an inspiration I’ve found in the Laser industry magazine Laser Focus World. I recommend interested parties to have a closer look into this first installment of a photonics product showcase.
