ACTMOST: supporting companies with 'photonics technology services' instead of 'money'

摘要

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.
