Printable Logic: System Integration and Applications Development

Scott is an experienced serial entrepreneur, now leading his sixth technology venture as CEO of PragmatIC Printing. He is also a board director at mobile visual search company Cortexica Vision Systems. Most recently he was CEO of Nano ePrint, and a board director at telecoms module developer Polariq. Previously he was founder and CEO of Azea Networks, growing its business of optical communications solutions from concept to eight figure sales levels before being acquired.

 

Scott has also been an Entrepreneur-In-Residence with Atlas Venture, a trans-Atlantic venture fund managing over $2 billion in capital, and a management consultant with McKinsey & Co. He has lived and worked across the globe including Australia, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, the US and the UK.

PragmatIC Printing enables printed logic circuits that introduce intelligence and interactivity into a wide range of products and applications, in form factors that are not possible using silicon chips - for example: ultra thin, flexible, robust,transparent, disposable.

 

In 2010, PragmatIC Printing acquired the printed electronics business of Nano ePrint, including its patented technology for planar nano-electronic devices that can uniquely be fabricated in a single layer of semiconductor via single-step imprint patterning. PragmatIC has extended this proven imprinting process to conventional thin film transistor designs and a variety of self-aligned structures. This approach allows a full range of device and circuit architectures to be printed in transparent, flexible semiconductors at micron and sub-micron scale.

 

PragmatIC's technology is able to print electronic logic at very high speeds while dramatically reducing circuit size and simplifying manufacture, thereby opening up prospects for low-cost, high-performance printed electronics across a range of applications.
