Serving the need to design, to map out and to manufacture complex micro optical components requires more than the experience of one single POLYMICRO partner, it requires a vertical integration of relevant technologies and a clear structured manufacturing scheme.
 
 
Within it’s new business strategy, POLYMICRO-CC will integrate the technologies relevant for the fabrication of micro optical systems and pool the company’s, experts in these technologies. An engineering office which is supported by well know research organisations will be part of POLYMICRO-CC. The engineering office has close contacts to European research networks in micro optics like NEMO (http://www.micro-optics.org), which allows a fast transfer of newest R&D results to industry. It will work out innovative solutions based on micro optics to solve the customer’s problems and requests, the fabrication strategy and the manufacturing line will be conceived. Depending on customer’s requests consortia will be formed out of the pool of technology providers to manufacture micro optical systems efficiently. Project management and responsibility will be transferred to a prime contractor. A business strategy well established in civil engineering is transferred to the world of micro fabrication.
 
Customers who look for complete solutions for their complex optical problem will get all-embracing support from conceptual studies up to manufacturing of the optical system. Searching for suitable developing and engineering organisations, design offices as well as for technology providers is not necessary any more. Based on the pool of technology providers the best consortia for manufacturing will be chosen. Thus, POLYMICRO-CC is the one stop shop to solve technical problems by micro optical solutions and to manufacture complex micro optical systems.
