get the competitive edge

Printed electronics products offer many new possibilities because they can be flexible, stretchable, low cost enough to be disposable, improve existing electronics such as displays, be integrated with fabrics, are more environmental, and improve safety and much more...

For the first time, cheap electronic features enhance products such as packaging, blister packs, bill board posters and clothing. Over 3000 global organizations are developing the technology and now radical new products have emerged.

Military & Aerospace Printed electronics enable new form factors and functionalities in order to achieve light-weight, robust electronics and -in some cases- able to withstand extreme weather conditions, requirements that are of the utmost importance in the military and transport sectors. Electronic-enabled textiles, vehicle-integrated photovoltaics, printed sensors, flexible and conformable displays are only some of the devices being developed to enhance existing infrastructure.
