ADVANCED NANO OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY
A VICTORY FOR INNOVATION & TRADITION
Honoured with the Best Origination Award at the International Optical Technologies Association (IOTA) Excellence in Optical Technologies Awards 2025
We are incredibly proud to share that our team has been awarded Best Origination at the International Optical Technologies Association (IOTA) Awards, the world’s leading stage for innovation in optical and digital document security.
Our winning project, The St. George Icon, blends centuries-old spiritual heritage with cutting-edge holographic technology. Inspired by the miraculous Phanuel Icon of St. George the Victorious – the sacred treasure of the Bulgarian Zograf Monastery – we set out to create a truly exceptional work of art and technology.
Through advanced holographic techniques, our team meticulously recreated the sacred image with breathtaking precision, achieving a lifelike three-dimensional effect that brings the icon to life in a completely new way.
This project was a unique opportunity to merge tradition and innovation, paying tribute to centuries of spiritual heritage while showcasing what is possible when art and technology meet at the highest level.
A special thank you to Father Gavriil and the Zograf Monastery for their blessing, and to the entire team whose dedication and expertise made this achievement possible.
We are honoured to stand among the world’s top innovators and to contribute to the future of optical and digital security technologies.
