- [AP4PIC has been highlighted by Research Latvia](https://ap4pic.eu/news/ap4pic-has-been-highlighted-by-research-latvia/): AP4PIC is featured in researchLatvia for its development of innovative polymer-integrated photonic microchips that use light, instead of electrical signals, to process and transmit information. The article highlights how this deep-tech spin-off from the Institute pf Soldi State Physics of University of Latvia is working with Riga Technical University on prototype technology that could significantly reduce energy consumption in data centres and other applications. It also discusses the company’s scientific roots, energy-efficiency potential, and plans to build strategic partnerships as it advances toward market-ready solutions. Read the full article here
- [AP4PIC will launch an ERDF research project together with Riga Technical university](https://ap4pic.eu/news/ap4pic-will-launch-an-erdf-research-project-together-with-riga-technical-university/): On September 1, 2025, AP4PIC, together with Riga Technical University, will launch the ERDF project “Active Polymer Photonic Systems for Integrated Organic-Based Light manipulators and Emitters”. The project, running from 01.09.2025 to 31.08.2028, is led by Riga Technical University. With a total budget of 650,000 EUR, including 505,050 EUR in ERDF funding, the industrial research project aims to develop technology for the heterogeneous single-chip integration of coherent light sources and light modulators based entirely on polymer photonics. The project focuses on designing and synthesizing light-emitting and nonlinear active organic materials operating in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions; developing fabrication […]
