Dr Richard Price is co-Founder of PragmatIC and has over 20 years' experience in technology commercialisation, focusing on printed electronics, process and materials. Richard has a BSc and PhD in Chemistry (Dunelm), specialising in organometallics, and has led PragmatIC's development of FlexLogIC and FlexIC. He is inventor/co-inventor on >25 patent families.

Nano ePrint was formed in 2006 following pioneering research at the University of Manchester in the UK. Nano ePrint's technology enables planar nanoelectronic circuits that can uniquely be fabricated in a single layer of semiconductor via single-step patterning. Nano ePrint's devices achieve very high speeds while dramatically reducing circuit size and simplifying manufacture. Nano ePrint has also developed a configurable circuit architecture to deliver the world's first printed programmable logic circuits, allowing one circuit to simultaneously address multiple applications. The Nano ePrint approach opens up prospects for low-cost, high-performance printed electronics across a wide range of market opportunities.
