Why PIC Summit USA 2027 Matters for Your Photonic Integrated Circuit Roadmap
PIC Summit USA brings together senior decision-makers, technology leaders, and founders who advance photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology. PhotonDelta and Plug and Play host the event, which connects North America’s silicon photonics ecosystem with global markets.
The programme combines expert talks, networking breaks, a walking dinner, and a live preview of showcased innovations. You meet your peers face to face and shape the next phase of integrated photonics.
Meet LIGENTEC’s Leadership in Sunnyvale
Our CEO and CCO attend together. You get the strategic and the commercial view in one conversation.
→ Thomas Hessler, CEO: foundry strategy, European supply chain, long-term capacity
→ Michael Geiselmann, CCO and Co-Founder: MPW access, volume agreements, customer roadmaps
Michael co-founded LIGENTEC in 2016 as an EPFL spin-off. He speaks to every stage, from the first prototype run to production.

Silicon Nitride PICs from Prototype to Volume — What to Discuss
Bring your hardest design constraint. We map it against our platform.
→ Performance: the lowest propagation loss in production
→ Completeness: SiN, Thin Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN) modulators, and InGaAs photodetectors on one platform
→ Scale: the same automotive-qualified fab with X-FAB, from MPW to 200mm production
This platform serves silicon nitride quantum photonics, silicon nitride LiDAR and sensing, and datacom. Our MPW runs let you validate a design before you commit to a dedicated wafer lot. Explore our MPW services.
