EPIC members in the News
Invest in Photonics - International Partnering Convention
1st ever international partnering convention dedicated to business development of Photonics held in Bordeaux on 11-12 December 2008.
2 EPIC Members among the selected companies
After receiving more than 40 company candidatures from all around Europe and North America, motivated by raising from 1 ME to 100 ME, the Technical
Committee selected 18 of them for a presentation the 11 and 12 December 2008. Among them two EPIC Members: VIGO Systems, Warsaw, Poland and VI Systems, Berlin, Germany.
Pictures of the event are visible in the Members' restricted area.
They evaluated their business plan regarding 3 relevant criteria consistency - the company market size, the level of product innovation, the growth potential - and selected the most fundable companies :
