We celebrated our 10 year an- niversary and could not have done it in a better way than by excelling in every activity area we embarked upon. I would like to take this oppor- tunity to commend EPIC on its achievements in being the voice of the industry, reaching out to both the industry and policy makers, continuing its work on EU funded projects and of course on the publications and industry events that the As- sociation has organised. In addition, the year has been marked by a major growth in membership of the Association, allowing us to deliver even stronger benefits to a wider audience. I hope that once you have had a chance to glance through this outline of the work carried out by EPIC in the past year that you join me in recognis- ing that our sector is being powerfully represent- ed by your Industry Association at both a Europe- an and a Global level. Drew Nelson, EPIC President
- 3. EPIC ACTIVITY REPORT 2013 - 3 As EPIC celebrated its 10th anniversary it was encourag- ing to see that our industry combines ingenuity and cre- ativity to further technology advancement and creates applications that are addressing our world’s most criti- cal societal challenges. EPIC’s 148 member build on the richness and diversity of the industry; through fostering openness to explore collaboration opportunities. At the various EPIC events it is evident that a strong interlink and partnership among the companies exists. The col- laboration that can been seen takes a great many forms: you collaborate on EU funded project proposals, you provide input in the development of market reports, you take part in commercial trade missions- all in all you make our industry a lively and very active community! EPIC is an ever-growing community representing the Photonics sector in all its variations and it was pleasing to review not only the work that was done by our As- sociation so that we can present this report to you but also to see that our sector’s importance is recognised in many countries around the world e.g. France’s President François Hollande visited the laser manufacturer Ampli- tude Systèmes and in the UK Business Secretary Vince Cable visited Rofin-Sinar and SPI. Enjoy this snapshot of the activities of EPIC in 2013. Carlos Lee, Director General EPIC – European Photonics Industry Consortium carlos.lee@epic-assoc.com INTRODUCTION
