Recently, Aviv Doron, Head of the Israel Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei, led a delegation to visit Taiwan Nano & Micro-Photonics (N&M). Both parties engaged in in-depth discussions on the innovative applications and market potential of silicon photonics sensing technology, exploring possibilities for collaboration between Taiwanese and Israeli tech companies. During the meeting, Director Doron expressed great interest in N&M’s breakthroughs in mid-wave and long-wave infrared (MWIR, LWIR) sensing technologies. He proposed introducing relevant business promotion groups to further facilitate bilateral cooperation.
N&M Chairman Rone Chiu warmly welcomed the delegation and conveyed deep respect for Israel’s achievements in technological innovation, particularly the dynamism of its startups. Chairman Rone noted that Israeli startups are renowned for their rapid iteration and strong market orientation, serving as a model for N&M. He emphasized that N&M’s silicon photonics sensing technology, derived from National Taiwan University’s research, showcases Taiwan’s innovative prowess. Through this exchange, N&M aims to bring Taiwan’s cutting-edge technologies to the global stage and looks forward to collaborating with Israeli tech companies to explore key markets such as food safety.
Chairman Rone highlighted the significant potential of silicon photonics sensing across various industries. N&M’s advancements in mid- and long-wave infrared sensing provide novel solutions for food safety, enabling precise detection of natural toxins like aflatoxins and assessment of food freshness. These technologies can also identify microbial contamination in meat, seafood, and dairy products, ensuring food safety. Director Doron acknowledged Israel’s strong focus on food safety and environmental monitoring, agreeing that such technologies will play a pivotal role in bilateral collaboration to advance global health and safety objectives.
Additionally, Chairman Rone noted, “Our technology excels in sensitivity and long-term stability. In the face of continuous global environmental changes, real-time monitoring of resources such as water and food becomes increasingly critical. Silicon photonics sensing enables precise assessments, ensuring optimal resource utilization.”
Through this exchange with the Israeli delegation, N&M envisions contributing its technological expertise to applications in food safety and environmental monitoring. By combining the innovative strengths of Taiwan and Israel, this collaboration has the potential to develop practical sensing products that address pressing global needs. As the world faces increasing resource scarcity, these technologies will help humanity adapt more effectively to challenges in the global supply chain and ecological environment.
