I am Kee-Woong SUH, President of the Korea Photonics Technology Institute (KOPTI).
As Korea’s sole research institute specializing in photonics convergence, KOPTI provides comprehensive, end-to-end support—spanning from fundamental technology development to successful commercialization.
The rapid rise of AI and digital transformation has pushed traditional electron-based hardware to its performance limits. Today, the global industry is transitioning toward the "Age of Photons".
Photonics convergence is the definitive solution, enabling ultra-high-speed, low-power, and interference-free data transmission.
In response, KOPTI is spearheading this paradigm shift by concentrating our capabilities on next-generation optical semiconductors, such as silicon photonics, to drive innovation across the AI ecosystem.
Looking ahead, we will accelerate technological self-reliance in critical materials and equipment.
Furthermore, we are committed to securing South Korea's future growth engines by integrating our photonics expertise into strategic industries, including mobility, aerospace, and defense.
As your trusted industrial partner, KOPTI will continue to serve as a vital hub for innovation, validation, and real-world implementation. We truly value your partnership and ask for your continued support as we pave the way for a new era of "Photonics Innovation."
Thank you.
PRESIDENT
