In collaboration with SPIE’s Public Policy team and the Knowledge Transfer Network, the Photonics Leadership Group are organising a webinar on the forthcoming UK National Security Investment (NSI) legislation and its potential impact on photonics on Tuesday, February 9 @ 16:00-17:00 GMT
This key new law will require mandatory notification to government of asset transfers of many types (from company sale to IP & design transfers) in many areas including photonics and compound semiconductor materials, metamaterials, quantum technology and communications.
