Innovation Day is a celebration of progress on project work, results achieved in the Technology Hub, outcomes from Workforce Development programs, and connections made in developing the FHE manufacturing ecosystem. This invitation-only event is an opportunity for members to network, discover new technology, and meet influencers in the FHE manufacturing supply chain. It is an opportunity for government agency partners and dignitaries to learn about NextFlex capabilities first-hand, and it’s a chance for federal and local legislators to be inspired by emerging FHE technology that is improving people’s daily lives.

Panel Discussion: Shaping our World in 2020 and Beyond

With the integration of electronics in thin, conformable, flexible devices, flexible hybrid electronics have the potential to transform how we live, work and play.  They are already changing the way we interact with the world by enabling us to do things like continuously monitor our healthcare, track our pharmaceuticals, manage important structural assets, and improve the form and functionality of a variety of critical devices essential to satellites and aerospace, RF & communications, automotive, agriculture, and soft robotics.

While the case has been made on the technology side for how and why flexible hybrid electronics will contribute to the evolution of devices that serve both the warfighter and the consumer (e.g., lower cost and weight, faster product development cycle times, environmentally friendly manufacturing, all-digital design flows), the path to broad adoption is still a work in progress. This panel will explore the societal, business, workforce, and technology transformation that is underway and how they are shaping our world in 2020 and beyond.
