SUMMARY:Photonics and Quantum focused business and research delegation visit to the state of Colorado
DESCRIPTION:The Team Finland network in the USA invites Finnish companies and researchers in photonics\, quantum technologies\, climate solutions\, and advanced computation to join a business and research delegation visit to Colorado. The visit will be led by Ambassador Leena-Kaisa Mikkola and offers a unique opportunity to explore one of the most dynamic U.S. regions for science\, technology\, and innovation. \n\n\n\nOrganized in cooperation with the Colorado Office of Economic Development (OEDIT)\, Photonics Finland\, the FAME Flagship\, and the NSF ASCEND Engine\, the visit aims to strengthen partnerships between Finnish and U.S. stakeholders across academia\, industry\, and government. \n\n\n\nThe program is aligned with the SPIE Quantum Catalyst Conference in Boulder\, bringing together global experts to explore commercial applications of quantum technologies. Learn more at spie.org. \n\n\n\nColorado is home to world-class research institutions including NIST\, NCAR\, NOAA\, and top universities. The state has emerged as a national hub in photonics and quantum\, attracting nearly $600 million in private investment since 2020. \n\n\n\nIf this sounds interesting\, register for the visit at the latest by 5 September 2025!  \n\n\n\n\nRead more and Register\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\nThis visit is tailored for Finnish companies and representatives of Finnish research entities\, who are interested in pursuing business opportunities and research collaboration within the broad thematic areas of photonics\, quantum and advanced computation. We welcome Finnish representatives from companies and other entities who have already established their presence in the U.S.\, as well as those who are traveling from Finland to pursue new business opportunities. \n\n\n\nThe delegation program in Colorado will consist of visits to research entities and individual US businesses\, meetings with representatives of Colorado’s key industries and government\, and networking with various stakeholders in Colorado’s vibrant R&D ecosystem. \n\n\n\nParticipation fee  \n\n\n\nTo cover the expenses of arranging the program in Colorado\, Business Finland will charge a participation fee of \n\n\n\nSME’s and Micro companies: 1615 EUR + 25.5% VAT \n\n\n\nMajor companies: 1900 EUR + 25.5% VAT \n\n\n\nBusiness Finland will invoice the participation fee after the visit based on the actual costs. The invoiced fee will not exceed the amounts mentioned above. Kindly note that the participation fee does not include flights\, accommodation\, meals and transportation outside the business delegation program. The fee does not include tickets to SPIE.
