This is an official SOHJO 2026 Side Event. \n\n\n\nChips are at the core of modern society\, powering everything from AI and data centres to smart devices\, healthcare technologies\, clean energy solutions\, and defence systems. As global competition intensifies\, chips are not just a technological issue but a strategic and economic one. Through the EU Chips Act\, Europe is investing billions to strengthen its semiconductor ecosystem\, secure supply chains\, and accelerate innovation. Finland’s world-class photonics expertise plays a key role in this effort. \n\n\n\nHow Photonics is revolutionizing the chips industry? \n\n\n\nPhotonics is essential for chip manufacturing\, and Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) are driving new opportunities across AI\, computing\, sensing\, healthcare\, and defence. To move innovations from lab to industry\, pilot lines are crucial for prototyping\, validation\, and scalable production. \n\n\n\nJoensuu\, as one of Finland’s leading hubs for micro- and nanophotonics\, offers unique expertise in photonics technologies directly relevant for PICs. \n\n\n\nThis is not just a technology event. Instead\, the discussion will focus on the commercialization opportunities of Joensuu’s photonics expertise — particularly PICs (photonic integrated circuits) — in the rapidly evolving chips industry. \n\n\n\nCome and discuss with experts and companies about the role and opportunities of photonics and PICs in the future of chips. \n\n\n\nThis event is aimed at companies\, innovators\, and decision-makers interested in the future of semiconductors and photonics-fueled chips. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nJoin the discussion in a relaxed After-work atmosphere: \n\n\n\n\nThis event brings together experts\, companies and decision-makers to discuss:\n\n\n\nhow photonics is reshaping the chips industry\n\n\n\nwhere the major growth and business opportunities lie\n\n\n\nwhy pilot lines are essential for Europe’s chip future\n\n\n\nhow Finland — and Joensuu in particular — can play a stronger role in the global chips ecosystem\n\n\n\nThe event is aimed at companies\, innovators and decision-makers interested in the future of chips\, photonics and technology-driven growth.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nProgramme (preliminary): \n\n\n\n16:00 Doors open\, networking coffee and welcome words by Photonics Finland’s Executive DirectorJuha Purmonen \n\n\n\nKeynotes: \n\n\n\n\n“Shaping the future – integrated photonics for sensing and more” international keynote speaker will be Prof. Ryszard Piramidowich\, who has been involved in developing PIC pilot lines and advancing photonics from laboratories into manufacturing.\n\n\n\n “It’s a 10-year race towards 2 trillion semiconductor industry – what Finland brings to the table?” Pasi Pylväs\, Finnish Chips Competence Center FiCCC\n\n\n\n “Photonics integrated circuits in Joensuu: a glimpse of the future” Professor Matthieu Roussey\, UEF\n\n\n\n“Inside the AI Hardware Startup” Pauli Turunen\, CEO\, HyCom Core \n\n\n\n\n17:30 Afterwork drinks and networking at Botania indoor gardens \n\n\n\nThis event is organized by the Finnish Chips Competence Center FiCCC and Photonics Finland.

SUMMARY:Training on Spectral Imaging and its Applications
DESCRIPTION:What to expect \n\n\n\nSpectral imaging is powerful tool in modern science\, machine vision\, medicine\, industry\, agriculture\, forestry\, arts\, and many other areas of modern human activities. Spectral imaging provides an easy way to compare and distinguish objects which look similar to human eyes\, but actually different. \n\n\n\nThis one-day hands-on training course provides opportunity to understand how you can apply spectral imaging in your own field: science\, industry\, biology\, medicine\, arts.The course will focus on three technology demonstrations: \n\n\n\n\nSpectra and spectroscopy – a simple way to distinguish objects;\n\n\n\nSpectral cameras and their application;\n\n\n\nSpectral data processing using non-commercial software (on example of Python).\n\n\n\n\nCourse attendees will learn how they could arrange spectral measurements and spectral data processing in their own field. \n\n\n\nCourse outcomes \n\n\n\n\nGet the idea what is a light spectrum and what is spectral data.\n\n\n\nLearn how spectral cameras allow to get images where each spatial pixel is spectrum\n\n\n\nLearn that processing of spectal data is very similar to processing of traditional photos and RGB images (such as png\, bmp\, jpg\, etc)\n\n\n\nUnderstanding how spectral imaging can be applied in modern science\, medicine or industry\n\n\n\n\nCourse audience \n\n\n\nIt is desirable that course attendees have a basic understanding of photonics: light\, light spectrum\, infrared light\, wavelengths. Understanding of programming at basic level is required: variables and arrays\, for loops\, if else\, numerical data formats (such as integers and floats). Understanding of image processing is desirable but not essential. \n\n\n\nThis training is meant for people who would benefit from knowledge on imaging technologies\, new comers in photonics companies\, but also people using imaging for health\, agrifood\, waste management\, etc… \n\n\n\nAttendee experience \n\n\n\nNo previous experience necessary.
