Startup program for new optics and photonics companies launched by Edmund Optics

Edmund Optics has announced the launch of startUP – an integrated, customizable program that provides new optics and photonicscompanies with assistance during all stages of development.

Members of the program benefit from a wide range of services, including engineering expertise, discounted pricing, and marketing support. Member companies will have access to Edmund Optics’ multidisciplinary engineering team and can collaborate with more than 250 250 optical, mechanical, design, and manufacturing engineers to supplement their in-house resources. Twenty-four hour technical support is also available via phone, email, and online chat.

"For years Edmund Optics has worked closely with young companies, often in life sciences, and now because of the dramatic growth in startups and incubators, we see the need to develop an official program to help these companies grow their businesses - on their own terms and at their own pace," says Andrew Lynch, Senior Manager of Inside Sales. "Whether they're just starting to build a prototype, want a small manufacturing run, or are ramping up to full production, startUP provides engineering, technical and purchasing solutions tailored to each unique situation."

Furthermore, startUP members benefit from instant discounts on Edmund Optics products, and when startups are ready for full scale production, they can utilize Edmund Optics’ global manufacturing facilities. The startUP program is an extension of the Edmund Optics Educational Award program, which promotes innovative research in optics and photonics.

Kirsten Bjork-Jones, Director of Global Marketing Communications, commented, "With nearly 75 years of direct marketing experience, Edmund Optics knows what young companies must do to get their technology in front of the right audience and drive demand - we can help get startups noticed."
