• AIM: development of innovative products based on proprietary photonics technology towards our target markets.

PROFILE

CONFIDENTIAL

• 2005: creation of DAS PHOTONICS S.L.• guiding the knowledge and expertise from the NTC throughout two decades of research in the

field• our strategic spin-off link enables access to the extraordinary facility of the NTC for

micro/nanofabrication on silicon and the collaboration from a human team of more than 70 researchers in the stat-of-the art of the technology

• 2006: first financing round of DAS incorporating...• FERMAX Electrónica (industrial partner)• Caixa Capital Semilla S.C.R. (“La Caixa” group)• Principia Technology Group (spin-off from the MIT)• Polytechnic University of Valencia (strategic collaboration agreement)

• TODAY• DAS counts on a human team of 26 employees, including 23 university graduates, engineers

and PhD’s, mainly in the field of Telecom/Electrical Engineering with strong industrial experience in companies like (IBM, Celestica, Hewlett-Packard, INDRA, Rymsa,…)
