A Global Movement

Organizations from around the world work together to develop photonics-based network and computing solutions which will revolutionize every aspect of our lives.

The IOWN Global Forum believes networks should remain global to maximize innovation and growth. Achieving a more sustainable and high-performing network and computing infrastructure will require shared effort across the whole technology ecosystem.
