ePIXfab is a European alliance of organizations that promotes silicon photonics science, technology, and its applications.
ePIXfab is a not-for-profit open alliance of academic and industrial organizations with a mission to promote silicon photonics science, technology and applications in Europe and the world. ePIXfab acts as a catalyst for European academia and industry to strengthen the worldwide silicon photonics ecosystem.
ePIXfab promotes silicon photonics through advocacy of the latest developments in this field, by representing the silicon photonics community as a whole, through workforce development for industry and academia, by providing non-commercial consultancy, by liaising with overseas organizations, and by roadmapping the silicon photonics technological trends and evolutions.
ePIXfab is an open alliance in which any organization with an interest in the mission of ePIXfab is welcome. ePIXfab respects neutrality with respect to the ambitions of the member organizations and never expresses an opinion about the capabilities of its members.
ePIXfab is playing an active role in the field of silicon photonics since 2006. ePIXfab has a rich track record of promoting silicon photonics through its activities. ePIXfab started its activities in 2006 as the provider of world’s first open-access Multi Project Wafer (MPW) service for silicon photonics prototyping. After the handover of brokerage service to Europractice in 2014, ePIXfab has redefined itself with a much broader scope. In this new role ePIXfab promotes silicon photonics through various activities.
Through participation in roadmapping and policy advisory boards, ePIXfab promotes the further development and support of silicon photonics and its ecosystem. ePIXfab is involved in the International Cooperation On Semiconductors (ICOS) and the Integrated Photonics Systems Roadmap – International (IPSRI).
