The close cooperation of complementary institutions allows for providing services that require specialized expertise or equipment, which extends beyond the scope of a single institution. Insofar, we can provide a Single-Point-of-Contact for the customer and yet offering diverse services for varied applications. The customer does not have to tie up valuable development resources for coordination tasks amongst research institutions.
Customers
We aim to serve any industry, since novel optical technologies may be applicable in many currently unknown fields — we are open to any challenge. SMEs usually do not have the means, expertise or finances at hand to undertake complicated investigations in novel technologies. SNOS will be instrumental in closing this gap. We are there to assist Swiss SMEs in finding the best available solution that fulfills their specific needs, in order to increase their international competitiveness.
