The Printed Electronic in Singapore is designed to address the present technology
and engineering gaps in materials, design and processes to enable the lab-to-fab
transition through the printed electronics supply chain development, i.e. from
printable material (synthesis and scale-up), process engineering
(solution-processable material systems and product specifications), applications
and manufacturing. This effort is supported by Singapore Economic Development
Board and various government agencies with participants from research
communities (A*STAR, and universities) and industry partners.
