11. • The mission of the Roundtable is to create business relationships
between
– Photonics SMEs who are leaders in sensor innovations,
– Technology Integrators who are typically larger companies seeking specific
capabilities and performance for energy, environment and security systems.
• The Roundtable accelerates the presence in the market of key
competitive technologies in energy, environment and security
applications.
• 3 meetings, 4 photonics clusters, 42 SMEs, 17 large companies, 120
follow-up contacts
