Photonics: Financing and Entrepreneurship
Cosponsored by Colorado Photonics Industry Association
Photonics encompasses a family of technologies that generate, modulate, guide, amplify or detect light. This "enabling" technology is fueling advances in diverse fields such as health care and medicine, environment and energy, manufacturing, information systems and communications, display, defense and aerospace, entertainment, etc. For example, experts generally agree that information technology will not reach its full potential until photonics technology, i.e., optical fiber, brings high bandwidth communications to every home, business, and desktop.
The main opportunities within the Photonics industry are in new and emerging applications. Industry analysts predict that the market for photonics is expected to reach $230 billion (US dollars) by 2003 and close to $470 billion by 2013. The global photonics sector is expected to be the world's next trillion-dollar sector. However, because photonics as an industry is still so new, there are few geographic areas that dominate the market. Four general areas where the U.S. photonics industry believes opportunities exist for U.S. companies are imaging, new information age applications, medical technology and transportation.
Even if this industry is rife with opportunity, are U.S. photonics companies able to attract financing? If so, where is the funding coming from? And, are there opportunities for entrepreneurs within this industry?
Join us as RVC and the Colorado Photonics Industry Association will host a joint program that will attempt to answer these and other questions about the U.S. Photonics industry.
