Europe’s photonics sector is approaching its industrial test. As Eindhoven expands wafer capacity and SMART Photonics partners with GlobalFoundries, the challenge shifts from proving chips can work to deciding who controls production, integration and value at scale.
Integrated photonics is moving from research laboratories into commercial deployment. This briefing explores why manufacturing capacity may become one of Europe’s most important strategic assets and how SMART Photonics is helping transform scientific innovation into industrial capability.
Europe’s semiconductor future may not lie in a single champion, but in a system. As a new chip stack emerges across compute, sensing, manufacturing and connectivity, the real question becomes whether Europe can recognise — and organise — its own architecture.
Europe’s chip future may not be defined by a single champion, but by a system. From AI compute to sensing, manufacturing and connectivity, a new stack is emerging — raising the question whether Europe can finally turn innovation into industrial power.
Smart Photonics is turning Europe’s photonics ambitions into industrial reality. As production shifts from lab to factory, a deeper question emerges: can Europe finally retain control over critical chip manufacturing — or will scale once again determine who holds power?
