The first trade association and leading initiatives
It is in Germany that the world’s first trade association for organic electronics has been set up. The Organic Electronics Association (OE-A) is an information and communication platform and represents the whole process chain in organic electronics. Its members are international leading companies and institutions, ranging from R&D institutes, component and material suppliers, equipment and tool suppliers to producers / system integrators and end-users. More than 65 companies from Europe and the US work together to promote the establishment of a competitive production infrastructure for organic electronics. The vision of OE-A is to build a bridge between science, technology and application. Nearly 3,000 member companies from the engineering industry make its parent, VDMA, the largest industry association in Europe.
