Tech Fast 2021

In 2021, Subphoton Srl took part in the Tech Fast Tender organized by the Lombardy Region, obtaining a co-financing, partly non-repayable, for a project relating to the creation of an innovative production line of optical amplifiers, capable of improving product quality and to reduce costs. Specifically, it was a question of developing an innovative process which, by means of automated benches, would make it possible to carry out a screening of the components which exhibit production defects and which therefore will fail immediately (infant mortality), at the level of semi-finished product, in order to have a more reliable product than the state of the art. The project was carried out with the contribution of resources from the European Union, the Italian State and the Lombardy Region, in application of Regulation (EU) n. 1303/2013 - annex XXII and of the Implementing Regulation (EU) n. 821/2014 - articles 4 and 5.

SENSOMAR

In 2025, Subphoton joined 𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗥, a program promoted and co‑funded by the Polo Nazionale della dimensione Subacquea The initiative aims to develop intelligent submarine optical cables, capable of combining data transmission with advanced sensors for environmental monitoring, with applications in both the scientific and defence domains. The initiative, under FINCANTIERI's leadership, involves a consortium of industrial and research players such as Sparkle, the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, the Università degli Studi di Padova, the Università La Sapienza di Roma and several innovative SMEs. Subphoton contributes with the 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 — a new device that integrates:

For Subphoton, SENSOMAR is a strategic milestone to strengthen our role as a leader in submarine optical repeaters and to deliver technologies that enhance scientific research, national security and the resilience of critical infrastructures.
