Background
CAPPA's researchers have a strong track record of engagement with industry. Early collaborations centred on activities in our Photonic Material & Devices Strand and as a consequence was primarily with the photonics sector. The seed funding provided by Enterprise Ireland through the Applied Research Enhancement Programme facilitated CAPPA's involvement with a wide variety of new sectors including Medical Devices & Technologies, Pharmaceuticals, Electronics and Food Technology while consolidating our interaction with the Photonics sector. With photonics now positioned as a key enabling technology there is scope for CAPPA to bring value to a wide range of manufacturing and product design sectors outside of those identified above.
Who works with CAPPA?
As outlined above CAPPA's industrial partners come from a diverse range of sectors. The core business, products and services of our partners may differ enormously but yet they all have one thing in common: they derive benefit from incorporating photonics either into their products or their manufacturing process. Partners also come in a range of sizes from entrepreneurs, inventors and start-ups all the way up to multi-national corporations as evident in the list of recent and current industrial partners below. Our Case Study section provides further detail of some of our collaborations. Indeed the range of Supports & Services that CAPPA can provide is similarly broad and tailored to match the requirement of each partner. For companies which we haven't already engaged with then our Stepping Stone Programme is an excellent forum for exploring potential collaboration.
