Adam Piotrowski Outlines Poland’s Semiconductor Future at ISS Europe 2026
18 March 2026
At the Industry Strategy Symposium Europe (ISS Europe) in Sopot, VIGO Photonics CEO Adam Piotrowski highlighted the strategic importance of the HyperPIC project and Poland’s growing role in the European semiconductor ecosystem.
During his presentation, "The Polish Ecosystem of Semiconductors and its Strategic Key Project - HyperPIC," Adam Piotrowski addressed one of the most pressing challenges facing the industry today: the intersection of technological innovation and global supply chain sovereignty.
As Europe strives for a unified strategy in a fragmented global market, Piotrowski emphasized that advanced photonics and infrared sensing are no longer niche technologies—they are essential pillars of the future semiconductor landscape.

Sensing What Matters
A central theme of the presentation was VIGO’s mission of "sensing what matters." By advancing innovations in infrared technology, VIGO Photonics is actively strengthening Europe’s industrial competitiveness. These technologies play a critical role in several high-stakes sectors, including:
-
Smart Manufacturing: Enhancing precision and efficiency.
-
Security: Providing advanced detection capabilities.
-
Environmental Monitoring: Offering tools to track and mitigate climate impact.
The discussion at ISS Europe underscored the necessity of a sustainable, collaborative European approach to ensure the continent remains a leader in the global tech race.
