Vector’s CEO to be guest ‘Opening up Photonics’ panellist at Photonex 2021
Photonic-crystal surface-emitting laser (PCSEL) firm Vector Photonics Ltd (which was spun off from Scotland’s University of Glasgow in March 2020) says that its CEO Neil Martin is to be a guest panellist for the inaugural ‘Opening up Photonics’ initiative at the SPIE Photonex Exhibition and Conference (29-30 September) at Glasgow’s Scottish Event Campus (SEC).
The ‘Opening up Photonics’ initiative is a special event within the exhibition’s conference program, set up to discuss the challenges and barriers faced by minority groups in the photonics industry. It will be chaired by Alison McLure, head of the Institute of Physics (IoP) in Scotland, responsible for the advancement of physics education, research and application.
“As CEO of Vector Photonics, and previously CST Global, I have seen first-hand that attracting and keeping the best talent is critical to success as a business and an industry,” comments Martin. “Driving accessibility and championing diversity will remove barriers and contribute to accelerating growth and developing new talent.”
