Kick-off of the 2026 French Photonic Roadmap
The launch meeting for the new photonics roadmap took place on 29 September 2026. Its aim was to position the sector within the French market and secure recognition from the public authorities.
Ivan Testart, Chief Executive of Photonics France, and Ivens Saber, Project and Member Network Manager, chaired this meeting, which was attended by around thirty industrial members of the federation. The 2018 photonics roadmap had been drawn up at the time of Photonics France’ s creation. Today, new technologies, such as AI and silicon photonics, are driving new ways of conceptualizing the sector, and therefore necessitate a new roadmap. This roadmap is being drawn up in collaboration with Photonics France’ s members. It helps to position the sector within the French and international markets and to identify its strengths, particularly the most promising and high-potential technologies currently being developed by our members. The roadmap identifies the current needs of technologies and application markets by setting out the solutions offered by photonics and the support expected.

The economic Indicator, produced by Photonics France, offers a clear picture of the current state of the French market to help guide you in your business strategies. It is based on results gathered from a half-yearly survey sent to companies in the photonics sector. The Economic Indicator provides a review of the past half-year. Projections for the coming half-year and summary analysis are available exclusively to Photonics France members and survey respondents. To ensure the results are as representative as possible, we encourage all french photonic companies to take part in future surveys!
