Printed electronics, challenges & opportunities

The first Symposium on Printed Electronics, challenges and opportunities will take place on the 27th of November 2012 in Brussels, Belgium.  After attending this Symposium, printers, designers and ordering customers will have a better idea of what is Printed Electronics; where to apply it; what is possible now and in the near future, where to get available materials and how to adapt existing technology, or invest in specific technologies.
General theme of this Symposium will be an introduction to the emerging markets and applications of Printed Electronics as interactive packaging, wearable and stretchable electronics on textile and medical patches, the internet of things (sensors, memories and printable RFID), interactive cards and toys.
