SUMMARY:PhotonQBoost Matching Mission in Poland: Focus on Agrifood & Biotech
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to announce our 1st PhotonQBoost Matching Missions to Poland!  \n\n\n\nThis event aims to foster collaborations between actors in Photonics & Quantum Technology and those of the Polish Agrifood & Biotech ecosystem.  \n\n\n\n📅 Dates: 21–23 October 2025📍 Location: Warsaw\, Poland \n\n\n\nWhat Companies Say\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe program was highly valuable\, providing the opportunity to connect with companies working in related fields and explore potential collaboration opportunities. During the mission\, we also visited a leading research institute and a sensor manufacturing plant\, both offering valuable insights into emerging capabilities and industry trends. The overall experience expanded my network and deepened my understanding of current developments in photonics-related agrifood and biotech sectors.Dr. Fatih ÖmrüuzunVisratek (Finland)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe PhotonQBoost Poland was genuinely useful for us. We had the chance to meet relevant photonics companies and research groups face to face. The meetings opened real collaboration discussions and gave us a clearer view of how we can position our technology within the European ecosystem and how we contribute to these technologies.Sevim ÖrsUPTECHLABS (Turkey)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe PhotonQBoost Matching Mission to Poland was an inspiring and genuinely valuable experience for INSIGMA Engineering. It was a great opportunity for us to expand our European network. Beyond the meetings\, it helped us to build relationships that have continued well after the event. We have stayed in touch with several experts we met there\, and the follow-up conversations have been even more productive than we initially expected. Initiatives like PhotonQBoost truly help deep-tech companies connect\, grow\, and move faster toward real impact.İbrahim ÖlçerInsigma (Turkey)\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy come? \n\n\n\nPhotonics in Poland. Photonics is a thriving sector in the country\, with 6 major academic hubs of more than 10 universities\, 6 research institutes\, and around 100 companies. Europe is the top export destination of the Polish photonics industry. Technological expertise lies mainly (but not only!) in   \n\n\n\n\nMaterials (for OLED and PV\, quantum dits\, III-V\, GaN\, graphene and photonics crystals\, soft glasses); \n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial optical fibres; \n\n\n\n\n\nPIC design and nanoprint systems; \n\n\n\n\n\nQuantum cascade laser\, femtosecond lasers; \n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial application optics and thin film coatings \n\n\n\n\nAgrifood in Poland. The Polish agrifood sector is considerable: More than 1\,200 companies were exporting 44% of their production in 2020\, a share that keeps increasing. The sector represents 26% of the industry production in Poland and is quick to take photonics innovations up for production\, quality control and disinfection.   \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhat will you get from the event\n\n\n\nStrategic exposure: Gain direct access to key players in the innovation ecosystem and explore how your technologies can contribute to agrifood and biotech transformation.   \n\n\n\nNetworking and visibility: Present your organisation\, discover collaboration opportunities\, and position yourself for upcoming PhotonQBoost funding calls.   \n\n\n\nExpert guidance and follow-up: During and after the mission\, selected SMEs may access further tailored support services from PhotonQBoost.  \n\n\n\nAccess to future funding opportunities: Learn about the relevant funding opportunities and build your proposal with the present partners. \n\n\n\nEvent Schedule\n\n\n\nWarsaw\, Oct 21–23 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Schedule\nWarsaw\, Oct 21–23 \n\n\n  \n    \n    \n      Tuesday Oct. 21\n      \n        \n          \n            Morning\n            \n              \n                Opening and Introduction to PhotonQBoost\n                Keynote Speech by Prof. Adam Ekielski\n                Pitch Session 1 – Photonics & Quantum Technologies\n              \n            \n          \n          \n            Lunch\n            CEZAMAT\n          \n          \n            Afternoon\n            \n              \n                Pitch Session 2 – Challenges in Agrifood & Biotech\n                Lab Tour – CEZAMAT PW\n              \n            \n          \n          \n            Evening\n            Official Dinner (Arche Hotel Poloneza)\n          \n        \n      \n    \n\n    \n    \n      Wednesday Oct. 22\n      \n        \n          \n            Morning\n            \n              \n                Lab & Fab Visits – Agrifood & Biotech Companies / RTO\n                VIGO Photonics\n                Warsaw University of Technology\n              \n            \n          \n          \n            Lunch\n            Restaurant (TBC)\n          \n          \n            Afternoon\n            Bus Tour – Lab & Fab Visits\n          \n          \n            Evening\n            City Tour (Optional)\n          \n        \n      \n    \n\n    \n    \n      Thursday Oct. 23\n      \n        \n          \n            Morning\n            \n              \n                Open Calls Info\n                Ideation Workshops\n                Matchmaking Session via b2match\n                Closing of Event\n              \n            \n          \n          \n            Lunch\n            CEZAMAT\n          \n          \n            Afternoon\n            —\n          \n          \n            Evening\n            —\n          \n        \n      \n    \n  \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister and Apply to our Travel Grant\n\n\n\nRegister and Apply to our Travel Grant  \n\n\n\nRegistration is now open!
