About

The Canadian Photonics Industry Consortium (CPIC) is an industry-led organization that aims to increase the competitiveness of Canada’s photonics sector by accelerating the application and adoption of novel Canadian photonics technologies across the economy. Founded in April 2012 following a merger of the Canadian Institute for Photonic Innovations (CIPI) and the Canadian Photonic Consortium (CPC), CPIC strives to improve the productivity and profitability of Canadian photonics companies by facilitating knowledge exchange and business collaboration; linkages between university researchers, technology developers and end-users; and the identification of new domestic and international market opportunities. Based in Quebec City, CPIC was founded by Mr. Robert Corriveau and ten inaugural members that span different areas of photonics expertise and end-user sectors.
