BMBF grant for CeNTech start-up Pixel Photonics

Pixel Photonics and the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster (WWU) have received a joint research grant of roughly 2.6 million EUR from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to develop a new generation of high-speed quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. Within the QSAMIS project Pixel Photonics and the WWU will develop a new type of ultrafast QKD system with significantly increased data rates in the Gbit/s regime, serving as a building block for large-scale QKD networks and providing data security to critical sectors such as government, healthcare and finance. QSAMIS is part of the BMBF call "Enabling Start-up Unternehmensgründungen in den Quantentechnologien und der Photonik".

MATMED MDR workshop at CeNTech

The 2nd MATMED (www.matmed.eu) MDR workshop took place at CeNTech. In collaboration with the TÜV SÜD Akademie 12 organizations obtained an overview of the MDR/IVDR regulation and in particular of the establishment of a quality management system. Mainly young companies or start-up organizations attended the event. Referent Christina Lozancic pointed out that the companies have to deal with the regulation at an early stage and that the implementation is time-consuming and complex. It is definitely too late to start after a prototype has been completed
