EC confirms plastic electronics funding

At a two-day conference in Frankfurt last week Thomas Reibe, from the European Commission’s unit for micro- and nanosystems, stated the Commission’s commitment to developing an industry around plastic electronics, with funding to be specified in the upcoming €73 billion Seventh Framework programme (FP7).

An R&D centre is being established in Eindhoven under the name Orgatronics to provide facilities geared towards OLED development, and in the UK Cambridge start-up Plastic Logic is putting together a technology centre in County Durham.
