HOPE-A members A. Hatzopoulos S.A., OET Organic Electronic Technologies and Ltfn - Nanotechnology Lab had a meeting at A. Hatzopoulos S.A. facilities, where OET and Nanotechnology Lab LTFN were introduced in the philosophy of A. Hatzopoulos S.A. work practices, and fruitful discussions followed on upcoming joint ventures.

HOPE-A was at CPES2018 - the Printable Wearable Flexible Symposium - in Toronto, Canada, organized by intelliFLEX. Prof. Stergios Logothetidis, President of HOPE-A, had a Keynote presentation on how Intelligent Nanomanufacturing of Flexible Organic Electronic Devices drives Greece towards Industry 4.0. Prof. Logothetidis discussed with his counterpart in intelliFLEX, Mr. Peter Kallai, how the two Associations can collaborate bringing their members together to form joint ventures.

HOPE-A succesfully participated at Equifund, Athens, looking for opportunities to innovate.

HOPE-A participated at the Printed Electronics Meeting organized by its business partner Afelim - the French Printed Electronics Association. The day's focus was on the latest advances on Printed Electronic Sensors. The two associations strengthened their ties bringing their members closer to joint business ventures.

CORNET 2nd Technical Meeting has been successfully completed, with primary focus on Materials' Specifications and the Establishment of the Open Innovation Platform & Database. The meeting took place at the International Congress Center Munich, at Messe Munich, on March 13th, with participation of GRANTA, Fluxim, AUTh, OET, HOPE-A, NPL, UOI and USUR.

HOPE-A together with its members Nanotechnology Lab LTFN, OET and Advent Technologies succesfully participated at the International Exhibition & Conference for the Printed Electronics Industry - LOPEC which concluded on March 21st.

Nanotechnology Lab LTFN, OET, and BL-Nanobiomed (HOPE-A members), together with HOPE-A, will participate at Printed Electronics Europe, 11-12 April 2018. The event will take place at Berlin, Germany (Estrel Convention Center). We are looking forward for your visit at our booth 011. More information here.

This Workshop focuses on the cutting edge advances on 3D Printing, 3D Bioprinting, Digital and Additive Manufacturing approaches for Flexible Organic and Printed Electronics, Healthcare, Wearables, Automotive, etc. and for the fabrication of novel nanomaterials in advanced device architectures. As the world of 3D Printing is evolving, electronics are becoming a new key player. Functional elements such as sensors, biosensors and switches are now being integrated into 3D printed products, paving the way for exciting new markets, applications and opportunities. 3D Printing also encompasses a variety of different manufacturing processes. The processes are all primarily additive, with materials being deposited only where needed, as opposed to traditional substractive processes, like machining. This results in significantly less materials' wastage, which keeps costs and environmental impact down. Also, this workshop connects the Manufacturing with In-Line and Real-Time Monitoring Process and Control approaches to enable low-cost and high-volume manufacturing of Organic Electronic Devices.
