Hybrid Electronics Innovations and Ecosystem: A U.S. Perspective

Hybrid electronics are at an inflection point, with products currently on the market that rely on this manufacturing paradigm, many products in late-stage development, and even more opportunities poised to take-off. Applications in medical, aerospace, and consumer electronics, structurally integrated systems, and advanced packaging are all rapidly moving forward. As the U.S. Manufacturing Innovation Institute focused on Hybrid Electronics, NextFlex convenes a broad ecosystem of companies, universities, and government partners to advance technology, create and mature domestic manufacturing capabilities, and support the education and training of the workforce for this manufacturing sector. This talk will describe the Institute’s approach to carrying out its mission, provide examples of technical projects, and offer perspectives on exciting new opportunities for the ecosystem.
