Last week, CEO @NNOPT joined leaders from across business, technology and government at the Business and Trade Dinner at Mansion House to discuss how the UK can strengthen its position as a global AI leader. Those discussions feel especially timely following this week's AI Hardware Plan announcement. Leadership in AI depends not only on models and software, but also on the advanced computing infrastructure that powers them. As the UK invests in sovereign AI capability, deep-tech innovation and next-generation compute will be critical to unlocking future growth. #AI #DeepTech #AIInfrastructure #AdvancedComputing #UKInnovation

The UK's new ยฃ1.1bn AI Hardware Plan announced today during #LondonTechWeek recognises a critical reality: AI leadership depends on hardware as much as software. Investment in compute, chips and skills is essential if Britain is to become an AI leader, not just an AI user. At Optalysys, we believe the next wave of AI innovation will come from radically more efficient computing technologies. Building sovereign AI capability means backing breakthrough UK hardware innovation alongside infrastructure investment. What are your thoughts? Share in the comments below! #AI #Semiconductors #Photonics #UKTech

๐Ÿ† Proud to be recognised as the Early Stage Winner at the @UKPrivateCap #VisionAwards2026 for the North East, Yorkshire & the Humber CEO Nick New collected the award and joined Northern Gritstone's Kate Spencer for a Vision Spotlight discussion on how private capital has helped accelerate Optalysys' growth. Thank you to @NorthernGritstone for your invaluable support over the past three years as we've advanced our photonic core technology and reached key milestones. Excited for what's next. #DeepTech #Innovation #PrivateCapital #Optalysys

1/ As the UK gears up for the Governmentโ€™s launch of its AI Hardware Plan, AI sovereignty is taking centre stage. AI sovereignty depends on more than model development or access to GPUs โ€“ it depends on whether the UK can build the infrastructure layers that make AI scalable, efficient and secure.

3/ But photonics in the UK is at an inflection point: we have the science, clusters and talent underpinning an impressive photonics offering, but are lacking the industrial coordination to convert this into global leadership.

4/ Weโ€™re looking forward to seeing the extent to which photonics is a key pillar in the AI Hardware Plan at its launch at #LondonTechWeek โ€“ whatโ€™s one critical thing youโ€™d like to see in the plan?

We're heading out to Colorado in a couple of weeks for the Optical Interconnects and Packaging (OIP) Conference 2026 โœˆ๏ธ You can catch our Director of Photonics Imon Kundu on stage on the Wednesday (17th June) afternoon for his session 'Programmable Compute-in-Transit using Integrated Photonics', while CTO Robert Todd and CEO @NNOPT will be manning our exhibition stand. If you'll be there and want to find out more about Compute-in-Transit, or just say hello to the team, drop us a message to schedule a meeting โœ‰๏ธ Full event details & agenda โžก๏ธ eu1.hubs.ly/H0vTQ4d0

If FHE is to work at scale, the question wonโ€™t be: โ€œHow fast can we compute?โ€ It'll be: โ€œHow efficiently can encrypted data move?โ€ Find out why photonic compute-in-transit is the critical enabler โ†’ eu1.hubs.ly/H0vxPXW0

PQC is a rapidly rising priority in cybersecurity strategies, but it can only be effective against quantum threats if itโ€™s scalable and usable at a global scale. That is where silicon photonics comes in. Read our latest piece for @ITSecurityWire โ†’ eu1.hubs.ly/H0vxJbk0

1/ Modern workloads are facing a new compute challenge. Across AI, FHE and post-quantum cryptography, performance is increasingly constrained by data movement, not just arithmetic. This is known as the data movement bottleneck.

4/ Photonics offers an ideal route to realising this model. Optical systems can apply transformations directly to signals in transit, aligning computation with dataflow

5/ From moving data to compute to computing as data moves. Read the paper โ†’ eprint.iacr.org/2026/807

FHE is famously compute-intensive, but itโ€™s also incredibly data-movement intensive. As encrypted workloads scale, moving large ciphertexts through digital systems becomes a major bottleneck. Photonics offers a new path: compute while data moves. eu1.hubs.ly/H0v8BTg0

Q-Day isnโ€™t just a cryptography problem... Itโ€™s an infrastructure problem. PQC must be secure, scalable and efficient enough for real-world deployment. That is where silicon photonics comes in. Read our latest piece for @ITSecurityWire โ†’ eu1.hubs.ly/H0v8qzx0

FHE, PQC and AI may look like different workloads, but they share a common constraint: Large intermediate representations are repeatedly transformed and moved. This results in the data movement bottleneck โ€“ where systems are limited by the cost of moving data, rather than computing on it. Our latest paper explores compute-in-transit as a revolutionary architectural solution enabled by photonics. eu1.hubs.ly/H0v8lHB0
