Photonfirst has announced a strategic technology collaboration with GE Grid Solutions.
Photonics sensing scale-up Photonfirst has appointed Nick Singh as CTO.
Alkmaar-based Photonfirst has launched a modular photonics sensing platform, allowing the company’s application engineer to swiftly configure a sensing platform for a new customer.
Upon his retirement, Pim Kat has been bestowed the royal honor of becoming Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau.
Photonfirst International has successfully closed a Series A funding round.
Technology originally developed to measure vibrations in ASML equipment can also be used to diagnose heart failure. It got Technobis founder Pim Kat so excited that he’s postponing retirement to bring it to the market.
Photonfirst is looking to become the world’s innovation leader in integrated photonic sensing. It’s just a matter of reaching the stepping stones that will take its technology to high-volume sales. With a few dozen of potential applications in six different markets, the Alkmaar-based company is quickly closing in on a pivot point.
As of 1 January, Technobis’ Integrated Photonic Sensing (IPS) business unit is continuing as an independent entity, called Photonfirst.
