Podcast EP326: How PhotonDelta is Advancing the Use of Photonic Chip Technology with Jorn Smeets
Daniel is joined by Jorn Smeets, Managing Director for North America at PhotonDelta, an industry accelerator for photonic chip technology. Based in Silicon Valley, his mission is to advance the photonic chip industry by fostering collaboration between European and North American entities.
Dan explores the focus of PhotonDelta with Jorn, who describes the organization’s broad charter to support an end-to-end value chain for photonic chips that designs, develops, and manufactures innovative solutions to contribute to a better world. Jorn explains some of the impressive work PhotonDelta has done in collaboration with the worldwide supply chain to enhance the use of photonic chip technology.
Jorn also discusses the upcoming PIC Summit USA event. This event started last year as a small gathering of key players to explore how to better collaborate to expand the impact of photonic chip technology. He explained that this year the event has been expanded to include more topics and more participation from a world-class group of speakers and organizations.
The event will be held in Sunnyvale, CA on January 19, right before the SPIE Photonics West Exhibition in San Francisco. Attendance at PIC Summit USA is by invitation only. You can learn more about the event and request an invitation here.
