✅ 12 expert-led masterclasses

✅  4 tours

✅ Annual online access to TechBlick platform

  • Library of content featuring over 1500 talks (PDF and video) from all past online as well as onsite events around the world

  • Access to all future online events within access period

  • Access to on-demand version of all talks and masterclasses at upcoming onsite events including MicroLED Connect (Eindhoven, Sept 2024) and Future of Electronics RESHAPED (Boston, June 2025)




Tour Themes


After the masterclasses, you’ll have the option to participate in one of the following themed tours:


Fraunhofer IZM


Fraunhofer IZM’s focus is on packaging technology and the integration of multifunctional electronics into systems. Fraunhofer IZM was founded in 1993 and is today one of the global leaders in microelectronics and microsystems packaging

The guided tour at Fraunhofer IZM is organized by three working groups: 

  • System on Flex This group is working on advancing flexible hybrid electronics, stretchable electronics, and electronic textiles. During the tour, you can visit various labs and cleanrooms.

#AssemblyTechnologies #FlipChipBonding #Fine Patterning of Flexible and Stretchable Substrate #Integration of Microelectronics Into Flexible and Stretchable Substrates #Lamination #LaserPatterning #Mechanical Drilling #Thermoforming

  • Technologies for Bioelectronics

This group designs, fabricates, and tests active neural interfaces and flexible, biocompatible implants for neural stimulation and recording. They explore new methods for stimulation and wireless power transfer. During the tour, you can visit their specialized facilities.

  • Sensor Development and Integration This group develops micromechanical sensors for various applications.



Inuru

Possibly the only company worldwide printing OLED lighting, they have simplified the process by utilizing inkjet printing, making printed OLED lighting affordable. This is an advanced printed electronics production facility.

This is a unique opportunity to visit Inuru and its facilities.



Fraunhofer IAP


Fraunhofer IAP is developing future-oriented solutions throughout the polymer and nanomaterial value chain.


On this tour, attendees will gain insights into the research divisions of "Functional Polymer Systems," "Biopolymers," and "Polymeric Materials and Composites."


You will be guided through Fraunhofer IAP's pilot plants and labs on-site in Potsdam, including the clean room area for printed electronics, the pilot plant for fiber technology (from spinning to carbonization), and labs for polymer and quantum dot synthesis.



Quantica


Quantica is an advanced additive manufacturing company headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Their innovative inkjet-based technology enables  the digital deposition of high-viscosity and high particle-load materials. With their advanced systems, users can print and combine new materials seamlessly in a single process for 2D and 3D application development. From car coatings to printed electronics to hearing aids, Quantica's technology offers an innovative new solution. On this tour, attendees will gain insight into the research and development behind Quantica's printheads and systems. Additionally, they'll have the opportunity to witness a live printing demonstration, showcasing the technology firsthand.
