Europe is strong in its science base and leads in many downstream industries which are potential beneficiaries and require photonics for their own competitiveness Capitalize and develop this potential
Funding is mandatory to develop science, technologies and industries Attract private funding and orientate public one
Development of science and industry needs competencies Support new training programmes for engineering science, entrepreneurship
Optics-Photonics is a young and small industrial sector Foster cooperation at regional, national and international levels
