Micro Photon Devices Srl (MPD) is a dynamic production and engineering company based in Bolzano. MPD was founded with the goal of leading the forefront research activities in single photon counting and picosecond timing of single photons. MPD currently produces and commercialises advanced single-photon counting modules with unmatched photon-timing capabilities and overall performance. Silicon SPADs make it possible to conjugate high detector performance with miniaturisation, low power and development of integrated systems. SPADs in compound semiconductors extend photon counting applications to the near infrared spectral range up to the optical fibre wavelengths.

Crisel Instruments was incorporated in 1994 by a group of optical and electro-optical scientists and engineers with over 25 years of experience on designing and developing instrumentation in scientific and high-tech industrial communities. Our experience also takes advantage of the work spent in a similar company, started in 1981.

We are a leading European distributor of high-quality scientific instruments and components. We offer components and systems used in materials science, imaging, spectroscopy, photonics, nanotechnology and life science research. We were founded 50 years ago and employ more than 120 dedicated staff across Europe.

Andor are global leaders in the development and manufacture of high performance scientific digital cameras, microscopy systems and spectrographs for academic, industrial and government applications. Through continuous dialogue with our customers and strong teamwork we continue to innovate ground-breaking products, improving the world in which we live.

Optoprim is a company that stands out for its technical capabilities, for over 20 years we have been providing qualified support to our customers: we advise them on the best choice of components and we give them a high level of support even during the integration phase. Thanks to a fully equipped laboratory, we carry out studies and research on laser applications and process optimization. Our laboratory is at the complete disposal of customers who want to experiment with new solutions and get immediate answers on the most suitable technology for their needs.

At Qnami we develop fundamental new technology using quantum mechanics. The control and measurement of the state of a single electron enables us to measure what could never be measured before. We call this quantum sensing and we are enthusiastically developing this technique to improve peoples lives and the world.

Supracon develops and manufactures components of ultra sensitive measuring systems such as SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices) sensors, adequate amplification and control electronics, data acquisition systems and visualisation and control software. Necessary cryogenics will be made available by our partners. Therefore we can supply a variety of differently integrated solutions customised for your specific measurement requirements. Please find more detailed information in the according component categories.

Springer is a leading global scientific, technical and medical portfolio, providing researchers in academia, scientific institutions and corporate R&D departments with quality content through innovative information, products and services.

QuiX Quantum is Europe's leading photonic quantum technology company, with offices in Enschede (NL), Amsterdam (NL), Ulm (DE) and Stuttgart (DE). The company was founded in January 2019 by Dr. Hans van den Vlekkert, a veteran of the photonics industry and serial entrepreneur, Dr. Jelmer Renema, an expert in quantum photonics, and a team of professors from the University of Twente.

Our mission is to benefit society through the development of technologies that capture, measure, and generate various types of light.

That's why we re-invest at least 9% of our yearly revenue into research and development - to maintain cutting-edge quality across 90 types of image sensors, light sources, components, and systems with capabilities that span the spectrum from x-ray to infrared.

The quantum strategy for high value digital asset protection.

In our digital society, sharing data is risky. Networks have become complex to secure and new invisible threats arise every day.

At ID Quantique, we believe that the ability to trust networks and communicate securely is a fundamental human right. We therefore have developed the key components of a stronger cyber security ecosystem to ensure all over the world, workers, officials, security forces but also citizens and families collaborate and exchange information safely.

We also empower researchers to create the quantum photonic building blocks of the quantum internet, the ultra-fast and safe communication network of the future.

We are a not-for-profit association established by several major business actors – large enterprises, SMEs, investors, and startups – from across Europe. We operate as a collaborative hub throughout Europe to build a strong, vibrant ecosystem between these business actors and leading research and technology organisations. Our members come from all European states and associated countries.

Building on many years of top-notch research in quantum communication, security and computing, our mission is the development of quantum networks for enterprise and industrial use.

Our software enables a customer to migrate to a quantum network with optimal architecture and components.

A Joint Venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), Thales Alenia Space is a global space manufacturer delivering, for more than 40 years, high-tech solutions for telecommunications, navigation, Earth Observation, environmental management, exploration, science and orbital infrastructures.

Leonardo is a global industrial group that builds technological capabilities in Aerospace, Defence & Security. The company plays a prominent role in major international strategic programmes and is a trusted technological partner of governments, defence agencies, institutions and enterprises.

Thales is a global technology leader with more than 77,000 employees on five continents. The Group is investing in digital and “deep tech” innovations – Big Data, artificial intelligence, connectivity, cybersecurity and quantum technology – to build a future we can all trust.

In the markets of defence and security, aerospace and space, digital identity and security, and transport, Thales provides solutions, services and products to help its customers – companies, organisations and governments – to carry out their critical missions.

At AOSense, we successfully transition atom-optic quantum research to real-world solutions. Cold-atom sensors can be tailored to a wide range of applications and often outperform traditional sensors. Our team designs, fabricates, and tests high-performance cold-atom sensors for inertial navigation, time and frequency standards, and gravity measurement. AOSense is dedicated to commercializing these technologies for defense, industrial, and scientific applications.

Technology has the power to transform our lives. This was true with the invention of penicillin, electricity and, more recently, the Internet. Today, the transformation continues with amazing innovations such as autonomous electric cars, smartphones, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, stem cell and cancer research, renewable energy and even space exploration. NKT Photonics’ customers are visionary innovators within these fields and many more. They are changing the World through their innovations, and we are ready to deliver the cutting-edge solutions they need. Solutions for Innovators.
