Southern European Cluster in Photonics and Optics (SECPhO) is a business oriented cluster initiative for the optics and photonics sector, bringing together Large Enterprises SMEs, and research centers around this fundamental idea:
Improve competitiveness in the Photonics and Optics sector in Southern Europe.

The driving forces in the local market that have motivated this cluster are:

  • Exploit the important current and future scientific and technological base
  • Help companies grow and facilitate creation of new technological companies
  • Specialized advanced training and education of human resources
  • Exportation as a key factor for growth
  • Connect and involve large sophisticated end-users of photonics and optics (local and international) with the cluster initiative

 

The photonics and optics sector is of maximum relevance in solving the XXI’s centuries mayor challenges. The European Union declared photonics to be a Key Enabling Technology (KET), thereby recognizing the importance of this sector in confronting societies challenges today and in the future.
