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.
- Takeshi Kamijo (PITC) on Accelerating Photonics by Bridging the Gap Between Research and Application
- Naoko Sawatari (DNP) on its technology and collaboration with the Brabant ecosystem
- Frank Sperling (Nobleo Technology) on Mechatronic Systems
- Henk Akkermans (Tilburg University and World Class Maintenance) on Collaborative Process Innovation 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.
