EU Horizon 2020 Partnerships

Submitted by Sebastian on Mon, 03/24/2014 - 12:45

When applying for an EU Horizon 2020 call, a project needs to find partners - at least three parties from three different EU member states are required to apply together. We have now found 2 partners to accompany us and we'd like to briefly introduce them. Whilst we are still in negotiations for additional partnerships, we're glad to see that the essential requirements for an EU Horizon 2020 call are now fulfilled.




DENZ - Präzisionsentwicklung

DENZ is a Munich based company (founded in 1971), focusing on mechanical and optical precision design for camera related technologies. Some of their secondary markets also include formula one racing and the industrial sector, which has led to some impressive names amongst their list of clientele over time. DENZ created some of the very first electronic zoom controls, follow focus, video assists, colour and pivoting finder video assists in history, peaking in triumph by the reception of an Academy of Motion Pictures Award (the Oscar for technical performance). You might have heard of them more recently due to their services surrounding the modification of Canon DSLRs and other cameras to work with a native PL mount. In addition to this, they have significant experience constructing accessories in the form of base-plates, matte boxes, follow focuses, cages, superstructures and much more. DENZ operates independently within their 2800 m² manufacturing facility. Their entire operation is kept in-house, and - if apertus°'s EU application is granted - DENZ will be taking care of the Axiom camera enclosure and lens mount components, alongside camera accessories and any further tasks related to design and manufacturing preparation.




Antmicro

Antmicro is Poznan based company focusing on Embedded systems, FPGA development and Software. They have been involved in projects including OpenRISC and the Parallella board. Finding a software/FPGA development company that is brave enough to not be "afraid" of open source has been quite a challenge. We were in contact with a handful of companies prior to this and the concept of releasing their work as open source has always been an "issue". And so, with Antmicro we are happy to announce that we've found a partner who is not only "unafraid", but also has an understanding of the powerful advantages of open source and is able to fully embrace this. For the Axiom, we will collaborate with Antmicro to develop FPGA code and Linux/embedded related software and drivers.

Congrats! And double congrats for joining into the EU bid!

Open-source looks frightening, until you realize that most people care about you, your product and service and not about your license. And if/when they care, then open-source is the winning advantage.
