As a pioneer in the manipulation of light and with a bright history of innovation, the Netherlands is at the forefront of the integrated photonics industry (read more below). PhotonDelta was created by mandate of the Dutch government in December 2018 to accelerate the emerging Dutch integrated photonics industry and was granted € 240 million to execute the national plan for photonics.

In May 2022, PhotonDelta’s proposal for the Dutch national growth fund was successfully awarded €1,1 billion. These funds are meant to develop the ecosystem, industrialize production and develop application technology.
