A decade has passed since the discovery of the pattern that sparked the very idea behind ElFys, Inc.This journey began with a vision to harness the potential of black silicon induced junctions, and today, we find ourselves on the brink of commemorating not only a milestone in technology but also in dedication and innovation. From those initial sparks of inspiration to the countless hours of research and development, the ElFys team has consistently exhibited unwavering commitment. Through challenges and triumphs, we've continuously pushed the boundaries of what's possible in the realm of photodetection. As we contemplate these extraordinary ten years, we are reminded of the unwavering dedication of our co-founder and CEO, Dr. Mikko A. Juntunen. His leadership, coupled with his tireless pursuit of excellence, has served as the propelling force behind our achievements. Dr. Mikko's vision has not only revolutionised the industry but has also kindled inspiration within a community of innovators. As we move forward, we do so with gratitude for the past and excitement for the future. The journey has been incredible, but the best is yet to come. Together, we'll continue to push the limits of technology, explore new horizons, and make a profound impact on the world. Here's to the next decade of innovation, collaboration, and success ! #innovation #research #blacksillicon #photodiode

Last year at THE LIGHT HOUSE, Sherrell Dorsey, the CEO of Plexus, talked about the lack of diversity in media often seen at large events. "There were no black media publications on the ground at SXSW. I think at the time it was a 200, 000 person event talking about innovation and not one single black media publication was on the ground...There is no one seriously talking about tech and business in a way that is not performative, treating you as a magical minority... No one was really diving into what Black and Brown and others were creating or how it was marking a trend for something that was uniquely driving our future forward." The Tech We Want is about building a tech future that is inclusive and equitable. Come get a sneak peak at The Black Tech Effect Report at THE LIGHT HOUSE this Sunday!
