The EPRISE project was an EU initiative under Horizon2020, aimed at helping small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in the photonics industry. The 30-month project focused on the medical, pharmaceutical, agriculture, and food sectors, and worked to remove barriers to bringing photonics innovations to market.
Project Highlights
- Support for SMEs: EPRISE helped photonics companies navigate challenges like complex regulations and long market entry times, providing expert advice and networking opportunities.
- Online Resources: Two free databases were created:
- Photonics Companies Database: Find collaboration partners or research competitors.
- Expert Database: Get advice from industry professionals across Europe.
- Go-To-Market Booklet: This downloadable booklet offers insights, tips, and case studies to help companies succeed in their markets. It’s also useful for integrators, end-users, and policymakers to explore the benefits of photonics technology.
