Eelko Brinkhoff has been working for 25 years in economic development before joining PhotonDelta in February 2024. In his previous role as Managing Director Internationalisation at the Brabant Development Agency (BOM) he gained a lot of experience and knowledge in the field of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), internationalisation of SME's, innovation cooperation and economic development. He has built a strong network in the Netherlands and abroad towards business, government, knowledge institutes and universities. In his role as CEO of PhotonDelta the challenge is to mature the organisation after a period of rapid growth and to become an internationally recognised accelerator for the photonic chip industry. PhotonDelta plays a key role in making the integrated photonics ecosystem indispensable for the goals and challenges that we face today. Photonic chips will become critical in various applications such as quantum computing, robotics, sustainable agriculture and autonomous driving. PhotonDelta as a Dutch world leading ecosystem will be a driving force to make this happen.

Peter van Arkel is Chief Technology Officer at PhotonDelta. He has a background in both physics and business. After working as R&D engineer in an electrotechnical company, he worked at Berenschot as consultant Integrated Photonics. He has been working as the roadmap director of the Integrated Photonics Systems Roadmap -International (IPSR-I) for seven years. Furthermore he wrote many Integrated Photonic project proposals, did project management in multilateral R&D collaborations and performed ecosystem analysis for regional and national governments.
