sharp images, reliable communications.

The fascination for astronomical research has inspired the construction of sensitive optical instruments able to function under extreme conditions. There are also practical applications in the aerospace sector, such as earth observation (for e.g. climate change) and laser satellite communications for global reach. We develop advanced systems and cooling technology for this purpose, by applying our optomechatronics and thermal expertise.

North Brabant province invests 4 million euros in further development of molten salt reactor

The province of North Brabant is investing nearly 4 million euros in the further development of a new generation of nuclear reactors. A consortium of the companies Thorizon, VDL Groep and DEMCON will work in Brabant in the coming years to develop and test crucial components for a molten salt reactor. This investment should lead to new market opportunities for Brabant's high-quality manufacturing industry.

Sector-wide innovation program strengthens Dutch chip industry

Today, 64 companies and (knowledge) organisations from the Dutch chip industry present their innovation program to the Dutch Minister Beljaarts of Economic Affairs. The sector aims to further strengthen the strong position that the Netherlands holds globally in semiconductors. After all, international developments in the semiconductor industry are advancing rapidly.

Demcon joins TNO and University of Twente to accelerate photonic chip innovation

Demcon has partnered with TNO and the University of Twente to accelerate low-energy modulation of silicon nitride (SiN) photonic chips. These advanced photonic chips promise to create cheaper, faster, and more energy-efficient devices, enabling earlier disease diagnostics, safe self-driving vehicles, and more efficient data communication. By combining their expertise, Demcon, University of Twente and TNO are set to drive significant advancements in photonic chip technology.
