Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems
Pilot lines as the key to technological sovereignty
Fraunhofer IPMS is actively involved in European pilot lines to accelerate technology transfer from research to industrial application. Close cooperation with partners from science and industry creates manufacturing environments in which innovative technologies can be validated, scaled, and transformed into marketable solutions. Fraunhofer IPMS thus makes a significant contribution to establishing a competitive European value chain for microelectronics and quantum technologies.
Our focus is on microelectronics, quantum technologies, MEMS, and system integration. With its participation in APECS, FAMES, SUPREME, and Qu-Pilot, Fraunhofer IPMS supports the development of industrially scalable manufacturing capacities throughout Europe.
From research to application – your access to pilot lines
Thanks to Fraunhofer IPMS's involvement in European pilot lines, companies and research institutions benefit from direct access to innovative process platforms, expertise, and infrastructure. We support our partners from the initial design through process development to prototype production.
