The impact of <strong>Photonics</strong> - Triple Win<br />
Ecology<br />
Energy Efficiency<br />
• LED/OLED is<br />
significantly more<br />
energy efficient than<br />
conventional lighting<br />
• 90% energy saving<br />
potential for all optical<br />
networks<br />
• Photonic sensing and<br />
imaging contributes to a<br />
greener environment by<br />
advanced pollution<br />
detection<br />
Economy<br />
Growth and Jobs:<br />
• <strong>Photonics</strong> impacts<br />
around 10% of the<br />
European economy.<br />
• <strong>Photonics</strong> processes<br />
bring major competitive<br />
advantage to EU’s<br />
core manufacturing<br />
industry<br />
• <strong>Photonics</strong> contributes<br />
to save up to 200<br />
billion Euro on global<br />
energy bill<br />
Society<br />
Well Being & Health<br />
• Biophotonics allows<br />
gentler, less-invasive<br />
surgical methods<br />
• Sophisticated<br />
surveillance<br />
technology and<br />
detection increases<br />
safety and security<br />
• Smart organic labels<br />
set the base for a<br />
ubiquitous “Internet of<br />
Things”
