Photonics Finland will organize a group visit together with its members to Latvia on 17th – 20th May 2022.
“Smart materials and photonics” are one of five smart industries identified as a priority sectors by the Latvian government. Latvia’s world-leading high-impact research paired with well-developed commercialization and extensive industry expertise make Latvia a particularly attractive region for developing and launching projects in the smart materials and photonics sector, as shown by the sustained growth in related export and investments.
A central hub connecting science and business is University of Latvia’s (UL) Institute of Solid-State Physics (ISSP)—the top materials research and innovation center in the Baltics—and its platform Materize. The ISSP itself is home to a unique micro- and nano-technology center.
