The photonics network
Photonics France represents the photonics sector both nationally and internationally. Its stakeholders, located around the world, form a clear and interdependent network.
In France
France has a well-structured network comprising competitiveness clusters, national associations and the national federation, Photonics France, which work together to raise the profile and promote the photonics sector.
