In the Netherlands, six clusters of companies and knowledge institutes have been identified for the six promising application domains. One of the aims is to share forces: joint initiatives and clusters are proposed, in which the Netherlands presents itself internationally as a single cohesive photonics region. The objective of this National Agenda Photonics is to intensify and accelerate the application of photonics technologies for solving societal challenges and creating new businesses. Nearly 300 Dutch companies, a large portion of which are SMEs, work directly on photonics products, with an estimated total turnover of more than 4 billion euros. The global photonics industry is estimated to grow by 40% over the next five years with the Netherlands as one of the leaders in the EU. The photonics market is developing rapidly.

Photonics plays a major role in the success of the Dutch high-tech industry and makes an important contribution to solving social challenges, for example by means of climate monitoring. Photonics is the key technology that uses the properties of light for a wide range of applications such as sensing, data communication and production technology.

Provide growth as mainstay of the new Photonics Innovation Hub.

Attract more and more technological companies that enter into a partnership with TU Delft and the other companies on campus.

Strengthen innovation in the Netherlands in this area by intensifying cooperation with Dutch companies and by improving access to funding.

SITC aims to be a European-level hotspot with a focus on the TU Delft campus, with a network that is expanding globally. Therefore, we started a project called Spectroscopy and Imaging Technology Centre (SITC).

Both research and application activities in innovative products can grow further if cooperation is intensified and stimulated. The aim of this National Agenda Photonics is to. This agenda came about in cooperation with PhotonicsNL, DOC and PhotonDelta. In the past 2 years, a network has been built up with more than 200 Dutch companies and organizations working in the field of photonics / optics.Ĭontacts with DOC partner organizations have shown that the optical “platform technologies” spectroscopy and imaging are very widely applicable: in the application areas Health, (Manufacturing) Industry, Energy / Environment / Climate, and Agriculture work is done on these areas at various locations within the TU Delft campus. On Friday 13 July, the ‘Nationale Agenda Fotonica’ (National Agenda Photonics) has been presented to the State Secretary of Economic Affairs and Climate, Mona Keijzer, by Benno Oderkerk, chair of PhotonicsNL. Typical concrete results of DOC are projects, research and education programs and network events: activities with different faculties of TU Delft, and other universities, In 2019, a total of more than 50 people (FTE) are working in DOC projects. Strengthening optical network on Campus TU Delftĭutch Optics Center (DOC) was set up by TU Delft and TNO with the aim of jointly strengthening activity in the field of optical products: we strive for innovation, research and education in the optical field that inspire each other.ĭOC is now one of the South Holland Field Labs, which function as regional innovation clusters.
