SMARTEES2: Online event dedicated to flexible and wearable electronics

WHEN: 5 March 2021, 9:00-13:00, online Colleagues from Minalogic and DSP Valley, our partners in the Silicon Europe Alliance, are organising a matchmaking event on Friday 5 March to explore the topics of flexible and wearable electronics (FWE) in textiles. These technologies offer multiple possibilities in different application fields including manufacturing, aerospace and medical. In fact, flexible and wearable electronics can integrate a high level of intelligence into textiles, especially when it comes to interaction with the environment and users. The initiative is free of charge and is part of the SmartEEs2 project, a European accelerator programme supporting innovative FWE companies.
