Norsk Elektro Optikk AS (NEO)
Why a symposium?
NEO was founded 25 years ago in the autumn
of 1985 with the objective to perform
research and development in electro optics
and photonics.
NEO has chosen to celebrate the past by
looking into the future of exciting and
novel electro-optics technologies to come.
This symposium makes it possible to
hear interesting lectures on state of the
art photonics related topics and to meet
scientists at the historical premises of The
Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters.
During coffee breaks, lunch and dinner it
possible to meet and interact with attendees
and NEO staff as well learn about some of
the products developed by NEO.
NEO has grown to be the largest independ­
ent and privately owned research group
in electro optics in Norway. NEO has
successfully managed to combine the sale
of electro optical instrumentation products
and performing advanced research and
product development. Typically ~80 % of
NEO’s turnover is re-invested in research
and development.
NEO specifically develops and markets
gas analysers based on laser spectroscopy,
underwater optics, digital imaging and
hyperspectral imaging. NEO is one of the
leading research organisations within these
fields.
NEO is owned by a foundation promoting
science and the arts that safeguards NEO’s
integrity and uniqueness as a research
intensive high technology company.
