🌟Hello Ahmet Bahadır Yıldız, we're excited to have you representing Scatterin AB as an exhibitor at LIGHTer International Conference on June 18-19! 🌟 What goals and expectations motivated your company to participate as an exhibitor at the LIGHTer International Conference? - Our goal at this conference is to enhance our network with industry leaders, research institutions, and academia where advanced materials analysis is crucial for R&D and quality assurance. We would like to introduce our technology and present industrial use cases and the value we bring. We hope to increase our visibility and create new connections leading to new business opportunities. Considering the conference theme "Towards net-zero industry through lightweight innovation", can you specify how your company’s innovations contribute to this goal? - Scatterin provides neutron and synchrotron X-ray materials analysis toolbox for accelerating lightweight innovation. We enable better materials analysis for deeper understanding of materials and processes. Our technology shortens the implementation timeline for both R&D and quality assurance projects, enhancing the innovativeness of companies while reducing costs and environmental impact. Analysis examples: measurement of residual stresses, quantification of phases and precipitates, quantification of defects (from pores and cracks to dislocations), and imaging of components. All these analyses can also be performed in real-time during mimicked processing and service conditions.   What business relationships and/or strategic partnerships do you wish to establish during the conference? - Specifically, we are interested in connecting with companies seeking to enhance their R&D and quality assurance capabilities. We wish to establish partnerships that will not only help in tailoring our offerings to better meet industrial needs but also in co-developing specific materials analysis solutions that accelerate the transition to net-zero industry. Join us at LIGHTer International Conference, where you will also meet other exhibitors such as Hallvard Tyldum from Vello Nordic, Martin Rosander from SeaTwirl AB, Peter Linde from German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Else-Marie Malmek from Juteborg Sweden AB.

Reflecting on 2024: A Year of Growth, Identity, and Innovation at EMI Twente! As 2024 comes to a close, we’re looking back on an incredible year filled with achievements, growth, and transformation: ✅ 65+ membrane research projects completed, solving challenges and advancing membrane technology. ✅ 5 conferences attended, where we shared knowledge, built connections, and connected to worldwide industry. ✅ Team growth: Our dedicated team expanded to 20 passionate individuals. ✅ A new chapter: We opened our second location, enabling larger-scale pilot experiments and further scaling up module manufacturing trials. But 2024 wasn’t just about external accomplishments—it was also a year of self-reflection and transformation for EMI Twente. We took the time to define who we are and where we’re headed, resulting in a clear mission, vision, and ambition: 🌍 Mission: Realize positive societal impact through membrane R&D solutions that bridge the gap between academic research and industrial development. 🌱 Vision: The use of membranes contributes to a sustainable world with clean air, energy, water, and food. 🚀 Ambition: To become the #1 go-to R&D partner for membrane solutions. As part of this renewed identity, we’ve also embraced a fresh corporate identity—one that reflects who we are today and where we’re going. Keep an eye out in 2025—you’ll start to see a lot more of this transformation in action! Thank you to our incredible team, partners, and clients for being part of this journey. Together, we’re shaping the future of membrane technology. 💡 Here’s to an even more inspiring 2025!

🚀 This week marks the official launch of the PhotonQBoost project, a groundbreaking initiative under Horizon Europe. The project consortium gathered to discuss key goals, challenges, and the strategic next steps, setting the stage for a successful collaboration. Our mission is to enable European industries, particularly SMEs, to achieve sustainability, resilience, and global competitiveness by integrating cutting-edge photonics and quantum technologies. 🌍 Over the next 4 years, we'll be working to help more than 100 industries reduce their environmental footprint while boosting resource efficiency, making European SMEs more competitive in global markets. 💡 🙌 A special shout out to the incredible team driving this project: EurA AG Photonics BW e.V.
