A special joint meeting of Technology Scotland’s Photonics for Space and Quantum Technologies Special Interest Groups

Join us for a special joint meeting of Technology Scotland’s Photonics for Space and Quantum Technologies Special Interest Groups during SPIE Sensors Imaging to explore the important relationship between these two critical technologies.

Rather than viewing photonics and quantum as competing approaches, this session will examine how they complement one another, where each technology delivers the greatest value, and how collaboration across both communities can accelerate innovation for future space missions.

Bringing together experts from industry, academia and the wider space ecosystem, the panel will provide an opportunity to share perspectives, challenge assumptions and identify opportunities for collaboration.

  • Speakers:
    Catherine Holt, Senior Technology Harmonisation Lead, UK Space Agency
  • Kyriaki Minoglou, Head of the Optics, Robotics and Life Sciences Division, European Space Agency
  • Natasha Nicholson, CEO, Space Scotland
