Rochester Business Journal: Photonics ranks as top story of 2015 By ANDREA DECKERT Rochester Business Journal December 31, 2015
Photonics was king in the Rochester area in 2015, according to surveys taken at year-end by the Rochester Business Journal.
Rochester’s selection as the headquarters site for the $600 million American Institute for Manufacturing Integrated Photonics topped both newspaper readers and editorial department staff lists as the top local business story of 2015.
News the photonics institute would be based in Rochester was announced in July. The story was cited by 73 percent of RBJ readers and 100 percent of the RBJ staff.
The surveys were conducted Dec. 18 to Dec. 23 and included roughly 380 readers and 13 staff members. Participants were asked to name the top five local business news stories of 2015.
AIM Photonics is a manufacturing consortium that will focus on the design, manufacture, testing, assembly and packaging of integrated photonic devices. Among the lead universities are SUNY Polytechnic Institute, the University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology.
