QRDC team at PIC Summit Europe - Evoluon, Netherlands

We were delighted to take part in PIC Summit Europe 2025 for the second consecutive year as a Silver Sponsor. As the first and only company from the Middle East represented at one of Europe’s largest events dedicated to the entire photonic integrated circuit (PIC) value chain, we’re proud to showcase our region’s growing presence in this transformative industry.

Throughout the summit, our team actively engaged with designers, foundries, integrators, OEMs, investors, and thought leaders, exchanging insights and exploring future collaborations shaping the photonics landscape.

Our booth was strategically located at the entrance of the summit, where we showcased our latest innovation — the Photonic AI Chip. This custom silicon photonic chip is designed to enhance AI performance by performing matrix multiplication directly on-chip, delivering faster and more efficient processing.

Another highlight of the event was an exclusive interview by Optica — a leading U.S.-based non-profit organization dedicated to advancing and sharing knowledge in optics and photonics worldwide — with Dr. Pramod Kumar.
