Customers
LED and OLED technology as well as the corresponding optics, electronics and mechanical design is developing very quickly driven by constantly evolving new applications. SMEs usually have only very limited resources in terms of funds, know-how and specialized staff and have therefore difficulties in keeping pace. SSSL helps Swiss SMEs to speed up their product development in order to increase their international competitiveness.
