Important results from the project
With support from Vinnova, PLT, together with Civitta, was able to form a complementary consortium within research, technology and business and create a competitive proposal to EIC Pathfinder. The project included workshops, analyses and development of all components. The goal was fully achieved, and the work resulted in a clearer business model, implementation plan, financial planning and a better basis for PLT´s expansion in a new application area for PLT; microLED-based optical interconnects.
Expected long term effects
If the project is awarded funding, it will enable PLT and the consortium to further develop and validate the concept of pyramidal microLED optical interconnects for scalable infrastructure in AI and data centers. In the longer term, this will improve data transfer efficiency, reduce energy losses and enable more scalable computing systems, and position PLT at the forefront of next-generation European photonic optical interconnect technology.
Approach and implementation
The project was implemented as planned by the PLT team, with strategic guidance from Civitta. The work included formation of the consortium and planning, analysis and development of all elements of EIC Pathfinder-ansökan – including consortium overview, technical expertise, technology development roadmap and relevant commercialization strategy. Civitta provided structured support through targeted workshops, continuous feedback and quality assurance to ensure a coherent and high-quality proposal.
