Abstract:

Technology-driven innovation requires top-experts and expensive technology supply chains to turn novel concepts into practical products. Companies however – and in particular small- and medium-sized enterprises – often do not have direct access to such infrastructure. In addition the highly-skilled people that can operate these technology platforms are hard to find. In such cases high-technology becomes a show-stopper rather than a catalyst for product innovation, economic growth, and job creation. ACTMOST, a platform that facilitates industrial access to photonics experts and micro-photonic technologies, can work as a new model to support companies that want to innovate with micro-photonic technologies.
