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.
