CNIT is a large organization spanning over the entire spectrum of telecommunications, that recently hired an experienced team in silicon photonics design, fabrication and packaging and that has a long-standing collaboration with the partner Ericsson for R&D in optical communications. CNIT also partners with STMicroelectronics for packaging technologies and pilot lines. Nokia is an industrial leader in optical communications and in TERABOARD offers its knowledge to develop technical solutions for optical interconnections in photonic integrated circuits. These factors, together with the high level competences of iMinds, CNR, UPV and EPIC, will ensure the ability to innovate beyond the research stage.
