And let me add that we also don't know if POET had anything to the creation of LUX Consortium

Other announcements at TechVenture 2015 included the formation of LUX Photonics Consortium, focusing on the photonics industry and ecosystem, in particular including development of infrastructure for high internet speeds using new fibre-optic cables or electronic circuits powered by light

At Monday's TechVenture event, Dr Balakrishnan unveiled the LUX Photonics Consortium, a platform to facilitate stronger collaborations between institutes of higher learning and the photonics industry to develop, among others, the next-generation ultra-fast Internet and the SG-UK Joint Test-bedding Initiative, which will enable SMEs from Singapore and the UK to collaborate on new technologies for sustainable urban development. -

“The Consortium serves as a “Catalyst” to propel Singapore’s photonics industry to be a world leader in light-enabled technology that drives life-changing innovations”
