Lauren Jaffart:
“Today I joined MBRYONICS, a leader in optical communications in Ireland, where I witnessed how advanced photonics technologies are moving from innovation to industrial scale – particularly through the team’s Photon-1 facility, which builds on decades of collaboration with ESA and Ireland’s ESA delegation.
Combining the design, manufacturing, and testing of hundreds of advanced optical communication terminals in a year, it’s a major step towards deploying secure, high-capacity networks for future satellite constellations, including ESA’s HydRON and EU programme, IRIS².
With plans to ramp up production ten-fold in their new facility, Photon-2, MBRYONICS is a powerful example of how Europe’s deep-tech ecosystem is turning cutting-edge innovation into scalable space infrastructure.
A pleasure to exchange on their achievements and what comes next in our partnership.”
