ECS IA Resilience 2026 – Market-Oriented Call on Photonics

The objective of this topic is to support the industrial scale-up of advanced photonic technologies. The call targets actions that accelerate the uptake of high-performance photonic platforms by bridging from research and prototyping to pre-commercial production. Projects funded under this call should aim to deliver industrial-grade demonstrators of advanced photonic technologies, representative of future market products, showing scalability, reliability, and integration-readiness at TRL 7-8. Innovation Fund Denmark offers co-funding to Danish participants in projects successful in this call through the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) initiative.
