PRESS RELEASE
Ożarów Mazowiecki, July 23, 2026
With reference to the PAP dispatch dated July 23, 2026, regarding the non-qualification of one of VIGO’s projects for NCBR funding, we hereby inform that the dispatch concerns grant application No. FENG.01.01-IP.01-A0WW/25, submitted under call No. FENG.01.01-IP.01-003/24 on March 28, 2025, which was not selected for funding. The project received a very high evaluation score; however, the mandatory criteria were not met. Due to the high score achieved, the company filed an appeal with the NCBR. The protest was not accepted, and on February 12, 2026, the company received official notification from the NCBR regarding the rejection of the protest.
In turn, Current Report No. 12/2026 dated May 29, 2026, concerned grant application No. FENG.05.01-IP.01-002E/25, submitted under call No. FENG.05.01-IP.01-003/25 on October 29, 2025. This project was evaluated positively, met all criteria, and was recommended for funding, as communicated by the NCBR to VIGO in a letter dated May 29, 2026.

VIGO Photonics S.A. (WSE: VGO) is a global manufacturer of high-tech solutions, specializing in the most advanced mid-infrared photonic detectors, dedicated modules, and semiconductor materials. Its innovative devices have gained recognition and are widely used by numerous international clients in the industrial and transportation sectors, as well as in environmental protection, medicine, defense, and security. The quality of VIGO Photonics detectors has also been confirmed during NASA missions to Mars (including the Curiosity rover), where they were used to detect traces of methane on the planet.
VIGO Photonics is successfully expanding its operations in the production of semiconductor materials. To this end, the company has refined and utilizes epitaxy technology (the deposition of selected crystal layers onto a crystalline substrate) using elements from groups III–V of the periodic table. As part of its development strategy, VIGO Photonics aims to supply the global market with photonic integrated circuits (PICs) based on these semiconductors. These systems will have numerous applications in the consumer electronics industry. The company also aims to achieve a leading position in the emerging European silicon chip market.
VIGO Photonics (formerly VIGO Photonics) began operations in 1987 and has been listed on the main market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange since 2014. The company is headquartered in Ożarów Mazowiecki and has a subsidiary in the United States. It employs approximately 200 highly qualified specialists and scientists. In August 2022, the company changed its name to VIGO Photonics, having previously operated under the name VIGO Photonics.
