Following last July’s launch of the American Institute for Manufacturing for Integrated Photonics (AIM), in New York state, this week’s Photonics Europe conference provided a good opportunity for its CEO Michael Liehr to review what has been happening.

The conference on Wednesday moderated by Stephen Anderson, SPIE’s Industry Development Director, focused on industrial activities and included an update on Europe’s Horizon 2020 as well as several commercialization stories from new companies.

Liehr, who also works as Executive Vice President for Innovation and Technology and Vice President for Research at SUNY Poly in Albany, NY, said that AIM Photonics is “an industry-driven public-private partnership focused on the US's capabilities to achieve manufacturing leadership in photonics technology, because it is both essential to national security and now positioned to provide a compelling return on investment to the American economy.”
