Maximising sustainable growth in photonic technologies in Scotland
We support academics in commercialising their research and connect investors to academic entrepreneurs.
With £4.7m funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UKRI, the Photonics & Quantum Accelerator (PQA) brings together researchers from the Universities of Glasgow, Strathclyde, Heriot-Watt and St Andrews, and local authorities and industry bodies to advance the growth of the photonics sector in Scotland’s Central Belt.
