This block moves from prototyping to industrial capability. Speakers will show how new pilot lines, advanced production methods, and data-driven manufacturing pave the way to stable, high-yield, market-ready photonic and semiconductor products. It highlights how Japan and the Netherlands can collaborate in manufacturing excellence, process optimisation, and reliability.
- Eelko Brinkhoff (PhotonDelta) on From Fab to Product: Engineering Reliability and Scale
- Johan Feenstra (SMART Photonics) on Building Europe’s first industrial-scale facility for Indium Phosphide photonic chips at a 6-inch wafer scale
- Henk Akkermans (Tilburg University and World Class Maintenance) on Innovation Field Labs for Optimizing Production and Smart Maintenance
- Panel, hosted by Helen Kardan (TNO), on Learning at Scale: How Data and AI Turn Pilot Lines into Reliable Production, with a representative from Nobleo Technology and Eindhoven University of Technology.
