The meeting will discuss photonic technologies, which have the potential to be used in both the generation of energy and its efficient use: in particular, photovoltaics have the potential for micro-generation of electricity without the use of carbon and solid state lighting technologies have the potential to make very large reductions in energy consumption.
The DTI says there are major opportunities for UK companies and other stakeholders in Energy Photonics. These opportunities include device development, systems integration, new opportunities for medical treatment, design of buildings, vehicles, horticultural systems, new installation techniques and new forms of final application.
The meeting starts at 10:30 am on Tuesday 17 January at the King's Hotel, High Street, Newport, Gwent, NP20 1QU. Phone: 01633 842020. Further information is available from the e-mail and web addresses below.
