Thanks to David Lang and Optica for highlighting the long-standing legacy of the Finnish photonics industry! Vexlum is a proud member of the current Finnish optics and photonics ecosystem, 40 years after the original magazine article. #quantum #optics #photonics Jussi-Pekka Penttinen Mircea Guina

We're proud to share an article on how VECSELs are enabling a new era of capabilities in Quantum was just published in Photonics Spectra. Co-authored by Vexlum co-founders Jussi-Pekka Penttinen and Mircea Guina, along with Vexlum US president Philip Makotyn, the piece tells the story of how the unique features in VECSELs—such as wavelength selection flexibility, high powers, and narrow linewidths—are suited to meet the demands of next-generation quantum technologies. https://lnkd.in/gHy_Yiqn

🏆 We are proud to share that Vexlum has been selected as a winner of the #SUPERFINNS 2025 sparring program organized by Kasvu Open and Nordea! This recognition marks an important milestone in our journey. The jury highlighted our unique and strong technology, focus on a strategically important industry, the strong team, our growth path, and the fact that our solution and business plan are timely — with Vexlum ready for a significant growth leap. 🙌We are very proud when reading the nomination accolade made by Mr. Vesa Riihimäki, Head of Startup & Growth Business, Nordea Finland: “The SUPERFINNS program seeks bold ventures with genuine global potential. Vexlum impressed us with their entrepreneurial spirit. They really know what they are doing,” 🚀Our success is deeply rooted in academic innovation, built by a talented and dedicated team, and driven by a bootstrap business model that has allowed us to stay focused, efficient, and ambitious. We're excited for the road ahead—taking Finnish photonics to the global stage! We sincerely thank the organizers, jury, and sparring team members for generously sharing their experience and insights throughout the #SUPERFINNS program!

🇫🇮🌏 Vexlum had the honor of participating in the recent #TeamFinland trade mission to Singapore and Malaysia, led by Finnish Minister for Foreign Trade and Development, Mr. Ville Tavio. The mission featured an intense one-week schedule of high-level events, excellently organized by Business Finland with the support of the Embassy of Finland in Singapore and Malaysia. Highlights included a visit to #SEMICONSEA and active participation in the EU–Singapore collaboration event organized by ESRA | European Semiconductor Regions Alliance. 🚀 We were proud to represent the deep-tech semiconductor technology cluster from Tampere, showcasing Finnish innovation on a global stage. Our Executive Chairman, Prof. Mircea Guina emphasized one of Finland’s key strengths in innovation: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝-𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 (in our case, #VECSEL laser technology from Tampere University) 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩.

Vexlum team congratulates Prof. Mircea Guina, our Chairman and CSO, on being nominated as a member of the prestigious Suomalainen Tiedeakatemia – The Finnish Academy of Science and Letters. Our VECSEL technology has strong roots in the research program Mircea initiated two decades ago at the ORC in Tampere, and it stands as a testament to his dedication and success in demonstrating the impact of research beyond academic borders. Congratulations Mircea — we are proud and fortunate to have you on the Vexlum team! https://lnkd.in/dDkfe-C3

🎉 We at Vexlum are thrilled to congratulate Dr. Tobias Franzen and Dr. Liam Gallagher from Durham University's Quantum Light and Matter group on receiving the prestigious Quantum Technology Career Acceleration Fellowships from UK Research and Innovation. We're especially excited to collaborate with Dr. Franzen on his groundbreaking work to develop scalable quantum network systems using Ytterbium (Yb) qubits and standard optical fibers. We support this effort by simplifying the complex laser systems that currently limit scalability. Scientific collaboration is at the heart of what we do, and we're honored to contribute to cutting-edge research through close partnerships also in UK. #QuantumTechnology #QuantumNetworking #ResearchCollaboration https://lnkd.in/gyqikRy3

It was a pleasure for Vexlum to join the "Frontiers of Quantum Science with Atom/Molecule Tweezer Arrays" meeting. We’re proud to support the vibrant community that’s advancing neutral-atom quantum computing. As a sponsor, it was exciting to see our VECSEL technology across a range of talks! Being part of this transformative moment in quantum science is both inspiring and deeply rewarding. A sincere thank you to the organizers and the Aspen Center for Physics for fostering such a collaborative and forward-thinking environment—an ideal setting for bold ideas to flourish.
