The Swedish Photonics Platform
PhotonicSweden network
PhotonicSweden is the voice of the Swedish Photonics. Our network consists of companies, academic groups, research institutes, individuals, experts and national and regional authorities. There are about 150 photonic companies with over 6000 employees in Sweden. The level of fragmentation is even larger in Sweden than the European average and most players are very small (95% of the companies have less than 250 employees). The PhotonicSweden networks extends well beyond the national borders and is especially strong in Europe.
Inspiring events
PhotonicSweden organises a range of events every year in Sweden and in Europe. In Sweden we organise a conference in different cities in October or November. The conference is also the occasion to exhibit, recruit new employees, network and of course learn the latest about photonics. We also organise convivial seminars called Optopubs in three cities, since 2020 these are held as virtual webinars. We are also part of and a link to many events in Europe. Pls see our list of photonics events.
Projects in Sweden and Europe
PhotonicSweden is involved in several European and national projects. Our national projects are all related to the strategic innovation programme ”Electronics Components and Systems”.

We can connect you with colleagues and experts in Sweden and abroad.
Boost innovation!
Swedish Photonics companies are very innovative. Many of them are exporting a majority of their products because in most cases they are very advanced and specialised and the Swedish market is simply too small. The competition at this global level requires to constantly improve the products performance through innovation. Through our projects, our contacts and some dedicated tools we can help your company boost the internal innovation processes and find adequate support to be even more successful.
