INNOVATION PROJECTS
FOR COMPANIES
Photonics and optical engineering are a key asset in innovation in fields as diverse as healthcare, agriculture, consumer electronics or automotive industry among others. Whether you’re aiming to develop a new medical imaging device, enhance the efficiency of an industrial vision system, or any other innovative idea involving optics and photonics, CD6 experts can join your team to work together to meet your specific requirements and evolve your ideas to improve the competitiveness of your company.
INDUSTRIAL R&D CONSORTIA
To face complex technological challenges, private companies from diverse market segments are increasingly joining forces through consortia. This collaborative approach fosters knowledge sharing, and risk mitigation by means of public financial support.
Photonics and optical engineering already play a pivotal role in technology innovation for a myriad of industries, from telecommunications to healthcare. If your company is facing innovations, CD6 offers its network of national and international contacts, with either companies (SME's, large companies, start-ups) and academia, to build the right partnership, and collectively achieve the technological milestones that would be difficult to attain alone.
PHOTONICS TECHNOLOGIES
CONSULTANCY
While developing new products or industrial processes, private companies need to deal with a multitude of challenges, from conceptualizing ideas to overcoming technical difficulties, that usually involve photonics solutions. Joining forces with an experienced optical engineering partner, like CD6, can be the key to unlocking innovation and achieving sustainable growth.
CD6 photonics and optical engineering consultancy provides companies and non-photonics research groups with comprehensive support, encompassing every stage of the projects, from initial ideas to final implementation. Our team may help your company through concept development, technical feasibility analysis, optical system design, prototyping and testing including mechanics, electronics and software/firmware development.
LABORATORY SERVICES
CD6 state-of-the-art photonics laboratory provides private companies with access to the latest equipment and technologies. CD6 facilities provide services in the fields of optical metrology, photometry and radiometry, colorimetry and spectroscopy.
Services may include equipment calibration using certified standards, simple measures or the design and construction of customized setups for specific measures or for industrial standards pre-certification validation.
INDUSTRIAL PhD PROGRAMME
An industrial doctorate aims to encourage companies to participate in doctoral programmes and promote knowledge transfer from universities to the socioeconomic environment by training young researchers.
Its backbone is the industrial doctorate project, that is, a company’s or institution’s strategic research project in which a doctoral candidate carries out research in conjunction with a university or a research centre and that will be the object of a doctoral thesis.
The doctoral candidate will have a thesis tutor assigned by the University and a supervisor assigned by the company or public administrative body, who, if appropriate, may also be the candidate’s thesis supervisor, in accordance with doctoral regulations.
You may apply for an industrial doctorate within any of the UPC’s doctoral programmes and under the same conditions as a standard doctoral degree.
PHOTONICS STARTUP’S INCUBATION
Startups play a crucial role in driving innovation to society. To support these enterprising ventures, CD6 early-stage technology incubation programme offers initial guidance and mentorship along with access to R+D capabilities and prototyping labs, required to create the minimum viable products that will help your first interactions with the market.
ON-DEMAND TRAINING
Current global competition drives private companies to constantly seek ways to enhance their products and services. Optical engineering plays a critical role in innovation across various industries. Investing in employee training in optical engineering can provide your company with a significant competitive advantage.
Optical engineers possess the expertise to design, develop, and test a wide range of optical systems, including lasers, imaging systems, and fiber optic communications networks. Their knowledge and skills are essential for companies that operate in fields such as telecommunications, aerospace, medical devices, and consumer electronics.
By providing training in optical engineering, private companies can:
- Enhance their ability to develop new products and services
- Improve the quality and performance of existing products
- Reduce development time and costs
If you are considering investing in employee training, optical engineering is a valuable area to consider. Our courses are designed to empower your team with cutting-edge knowledge and skills in areas such as Optical Metrology, Visual Optics, Biophotonics, Optical Design, Color and Spectral Technologies or Optical Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) among others.
