The Polish Microelectronics and Photonics Industry

Due to mul ple technological and business links the microelectronics and
photonics in Poland is considered one wide industrial ecosystem. This is reflected
in the name of the main research ins tute in this field: The Łukasiewicz-Ins tute of
Microelectronics and Photonics, but most of all it is visible in the ever increasing
coopera on between the companies opera ng on the market.

There are approx. 300 companies in Poland in the area of microelectronics and
photonics, with 90% of them being small and medium sized private enterprises.
The Polish microelectronics and photonics industry manufactures materials,
components, devices, systems and applica ons. The industry is mostly export-
oriented, with The Top 3 markets being: Europe, USA & Canada, Asia (excl.
con nental China).
