Photonics for a
resilient European
healthcare system.
PHIRE develops a concept for a resilient, scalable, pan-European technology infrastructure for photonics in healthcare — mapping what exists, connecting SMEs with the infrastructure they need, and piloting new service models.

Photonics for health is a European strength. Getting access to the infrastructure behind it is harder than it should be.
Small and medium-sized companies in particular struggle to reach the facilities, expertise and support they need to develop and validate photonics health products. Technology infrastructures are fragmented, and cross-border access is uneven. PHIRE combines technological development with regulatory and market-readiness support to design a resilient, scalable and pan-European approach – and tests it in practice.
