Sara Otero
Co-founder of Radiantis
Secpho brings together the Deep Tech sector at a national level and facilitates collaboration. It provides us with contacts for business development and new R&D opportunities.
Ferran Laguarta
President & CEO Sensofar Medical
Building and growing deep tech companies is a team sport that requires talent, knowledge, commitment and dedication. Secpho has become a full member of our team because of the value its management and excellent team of professionals bring to us.
David Castrillo
Area Manager Spain-Portugal in Hamamatsu Photonics
Being part of secpho translates into more and better results. The cluster connects us with other entities in an environment of trust. And it allows us to respond better to new opportunities as a collective, because what someone doesn’t have, might be complemented by someone else.
Jaume Castellà
Director of CD6 – UPC
Since its creation in 2009, to which I had the privilege of making a modest contribution, secpho has continued to evolve to become perhaps the best tool for creating high-value opportunities. Getting to this point has been possible thanks to a combination of excellence, effort, perseverance and intelligence. All embodied in a wonderful team of people. Proud to belong to secpho and honoured to continue to do my bit.
Íñigo Artundo
CEO of VLC Photonics
Secpho has opened many doors for us in the field of internationalization; through the cluster we have been able to exhibit at key international fairs in the sector, something that would have been very difficult for us alone as an SME.
Sergi Ferrando
Business Development at ICFO
One of the best things that secpho does, is to use the transversality of photonics to interact with other clusters and to facilitate us access to the network of contacts in different sectors at international level.
Elisabet Romeu
CFO of IMPETUX
The three words that best define secpho are: opportunity, networking and dynamism.
Demetrio López
Innovation Manager at Alter Technologies TUV Nord
The value of taking part in secpho is to be able to relate to many more companies and it is a very agile mechanism to access the European market or other clusters where this innovation can be developed.
Pere Pérez
Founder & CTO of FYLA
Entering secpho was one of the best decisions we made in 2012. It immediately gave us visibility in an environment that understood our product. It was precisely at the LaserMunich fair in 2013, when we exhibited our first laser at the booth organised by sepcho, when I got in touch with Ramon Sans, director of R&D at JEANOLOGIA, who opted for us.
Antonio Sánchez
CEO of Asorcad and president of secpho
The only way to create something disruptive that makes a difference, is to see it with new eyes and secpho gives us this possibility by connecting us with different sectors.
Crina Cojocaru
Co-director of Master in Photonics·Photonics BCN
For me it is essential that the Master’s degree is an official member of secpho. We try to explain to the students the importance of understanding how broad the field of photonics is and keeping up to date with its evolution. No one can give them this vision better than secpho.
Marc Canales
CEO of Sensofar
One of secpho’s key points is internationalisation, which has helped us to sell our technologies and products both in Europe and globally.
Javier Bezares
CEO of BCB
Secpho is key to our strategy as it helps us to position us in different sectors that would otherwise be very difficult for us to access.
Óscar Ciordia
Marketing Director of KDPOF
The innovation workshops are a fantastic initiative because in a short time they allow you to detect real business opportunities very close to the market within different sectors.
Yago Olaizola
Senior Researcher at CEIT
The cluster plays a key role in making photonics solutions visible and valuable to other sectors. It also dynamises and builds trust between the various actors in the photonics ecosystem.
