SMART Photonics operates as an independent foundry in the semiconductor sector, producing advanced Photonic Integrated Circuits for its customers. Based on the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, North Brabant, Netherlands, the company traces its roots to a 2012 spin-off from TU Eindhoven and Philips. It serves markets spanning data and telecommunications, sensing (notably Lidar), and medical applications, offering support from proof of concept through to full production. In 2026, the company announced expansion of its European footprint by planning Europe’s first industrial-scale facility for Indium Phosphide photonic chips on a 6-inch wafer scale, alongside investments in a dedicated 6-inch InP wafer production line. SMART Photonics positions itself as a mid-sized independent foundry that seeks to translate photonics research into scalable manufacturing solutions across its target applications.
