It was a pleasure to officially open South Devon College's brand new photonics suite yesterday.
South Devon is the centre of the UK's photonics industry, a multi-billion pound industry. South Devon College's new degree course teaching photonics and engineering will help address the skills gap and encourage more people to join this growing sector.
As Vice-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Photonics and Quantum, I look forward to seeing how the course develops over the coming months and years.
