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.

Architecture & The Build Environment

Moving away from bulky, intrusive photovoltaic panels, printed electronics technologies have lead to the creation of flexible, light, building-integrated solar cells that can conform to different surfaces, have different colours and thus, enhance the pallet of architectural features available to building designers. Interior design is also given a range of technologies that will liven up living spaces, surface emitting lighting, electroluminescent wall paper, semi transparent windows that turn into lighting elements at night, occupancy sensors are just some of the possibilities.

Your pass enables you to visit all the conference presentations and not just those recommended below. In addition to these, other presentations will feature case studies from leading adopters illustrating how this technology can add brand enhancements and new features to your products. You will also have the opportunity to visit the Tradeshow where you will see demonstrations of printed electronics in action.
