Outcome positive for Invest in Photonics 2010
- Event participation went up. Energy efficiency, personalized healthcare and “green” products seen as major drivers for photonics industry growth.
- 2010 investment turning more hopeful, but growth pattern uncertain, industry insiders say.
Invest in Photonics®, a two-day international partnering convention that brings together the world’s experts in photonics and leading investors from Europe and beyond to meet with emerging photonics companies seeking financial support, announced that the participation in the event rose, with new attendees coming from the wider European and North American photonics communities.
“We are very pleased with the results of the second edition of Invest in Photonics. Participation exceeded the last event, several factors are stimulating industry growth, and the 12 selected photonics projects presented were of high quality and well received,” said Bernard Couillaud, chairman of the Invest in Photonics 2010. “On the financial side, we see that investors are cautiously optimistic. In 2010, there are signs of a gradual increase in investment levels and exit transactions. While we are not out of the woods yet, we are clearly in better shape than in 2008.” |
