Printed Electronics - The Magic Arrives

Urgency
Raghu Das, CEO of analysts IDTechEx, the show organizers, says, "We are frequently asked whether the financial meltdown has altered our view on the size of the emerging printed electronics business. We reply that, so far, it is more a case of companies accelerating their move into the future. There may be an impact with perhaps some small companies finding it tougher to raise funding in certain countries but more important is the rush of giant companies into what will be one of the biggest revolutions of this century, impacting most aspects of human lif. Henkel, Bayer, Solvay, Shell, BP, BASF, Robert Bosch and every big name in printing, packaging and electronics in Japan - they are all joining the party. To give you the full list would take a long time but we do offer a contacts database of over 700 organizations now in the field out of 2250, up 50% from two years ago. This one won't go away. Our recent conference Printed Electronics Asia in Tokyo doubled its income over the year before and it has received very favourable reviews. Interest is at a very high level."
