The ‘SmartEEs acceleration’ programme is organising an open call for applications to help companies grow by integrating flexible electronics technologies into advanced products.
CPI helps companies to develop, prove, prototype and commercialise printed and flexible electronic components to maximise opportunities across the Internet of Things (IoT).
The IoT allows devices to send and receive data, with examples in printable electronics including self-monitoring packaging capable of tracking sensitive medicines in the healthcare sector, intelligent ticketing, and wireless-based applications, such as radio frequency identification and near-field communication.
The types of activities that qualify to receive support from SmartEEs must be related to industrial and societal adoption of new digital products, services and business models enabled by flexible electronics technologies.
They can include OLED and novel lighting, flexible electronics and OLED displays, organic and flexible photovoltaics, and innovative electronics, components and smart integrated systems.
The application experiments aim to support the transformation of a product idea into a functional product demonstrator and the creation of an application and business model.
The deadline for SmartEEs support applications is July 20, 2018. Applications are submitted via the SmartEEs website here.
