Cosmos Thrace is leading the way for Bulgarian companies, as one of the few to apply to and secure a place on the Horizon flexible laser-based manufacturing through precision photon distribution (FLASH) project as a part of a consortium in 2023. The news marks an exciting end to a highly successful year for the company and a great beginning to 2024, with the project launching in January.
The project will focus on highly customized laser-based production, including new and advanced methods to provide a precise distribution of photons. Cosmos Thrace will leverage its long track record in innovating in technology and manufacturing by developing machine learning algorithms to better predict and recommend the optimal processing regimes across the platform. As well as confirming the Bulgarian company’s expertise in advancing manufacturing through technology, winning a place in the consortium alongside other prominent companies highlights how it is helping to lead innovation in manufacturing. Involvement in the project will also support the company’s goals to grow its data science team.
With a total value of € 4 131 800.25, the project is expected to last three years. The Horizon Europe program is aimed at streamlining the EU’s position as a world leader in science with the ultimate goal of bringing excellent research results to market which will deliver direct benefits to citizens, such as affordable health care, protection against cybercrime and the transition to a resource-efficient, low-carbon economy.
