According to the Lithuanian
Ministry of Economy and Innovation, the 'Lithuanian Laser
Laboratory' launched in Taiwan on Monday, September 11, with the
purpose of expediting the development of laser and other
innovative technologies. 14 Lithuanian laser and photonics
businesses provided €1.5 million in laboratory equipment to the
Laboratory's establishment. Taiwan has also committed €1.5
million in the construction of new laser professional
facilities. Over the last decade, Lithuanian manufacturing of
electrical and optical devices has increased by roughly 15% per
year. Products made in Lithuania are shipped to major EU member
states as well as laboratories and research centres in the
United States and Japan.
'The opening of the Lithuanian Laser Laboratory in Taiwan is
another very important step towards strengthening the
cooperation between Lithuania and Taiwan. In the field of
lasers, Lithuania is a well-known name globally; 90 percent of
laser products manufactured in Lithuania are exported to more
than 100 countries worldwide. Combining the scientific and
technological potential of Lithuania and Taiwan, the new
research centre will undoubtedly be a great technological
incentive and ensure innovative solutions in the rapidly growing
laser sector', said the Minister of the Economy and Innovation.
