Distribution of photonics companies in UK
The UK photonics industry is distributed across the UK with key centres of activity in Northern Ireland, Scotland, the South West, South East, Midlands, Wales, North East and North West. With global exporters often tucked away in small industry estates thought out the country, many people are unaware of the significant role UK photonics firms have in supporting major global industries from mobile phone production to aerospace.
The Photonics Leadership Group is proud to have regular input from photonics organisations spread throughout the UK with senior company personnel committing time and resources to attend PLG meetings and contribute to PLG outputs such as identification of the Grand Photonics Challenges.
