Fujifilm Dimatix has announced its Gold Sponsorship of the 2015 Canadian Printable Electronics Symposium (CPES), April 21–22, in Montreal, QC, Canada.

Attendees at CPES 2015 will have the opportunity to learn, network and develop partnerships for collaboration and business development. Highlights of CPES 2015 include the convergence of research and development, industry expertise, commercial effort and government support in the global market for printable electronics (PE).

“We are pioneering the advanced inkjet delivery systems critical to the growth of the global printable electronics industry,” says Martin Schoeppler, president and CEO, Fujifilm Dimatix. “Our technology is only one piece of the puzzle. We need to engage with manufacturers, system integrators, researchers and innovators to drive our industry forward and create disruptive new applications. That’s why we see value in being a part of the Canadian Printable Electronics Industry Association and CPES 2015.”

The Canadian Printable Electronics Industry Association (CPEIA) brings together Canadian and international players in industry, academia and government to build a Canadian PE sector. The association implements critical development strategies to facilitate growth through networking, stimulate R&D and investment, build a strong PE supply chain and drive the broad adoption of PE by end customers.

“Fujifilm Dimatix is building the foundation for a whole new world of consumer and commercial electronics that will redefine how we work, live and play, by creating the enabling technologies we need to grow the global PE industry powering the Internet of Things (IoT) all around us,” adds Peter Kallai, executive director, CPEIA. “We are excited to have them on board for CPES 2015.”

CPES 2015 includes five keynote presentations, 20 in-depth presentations by industry experts and leading Canadian researchers, two panel sessions with representatives from Canadian industry and funding organizations, and 15 academic posters from leading Canadian principal investigators and their teams. Ten organizations will also have the opportunity for up to five targeted meetings each with key academic, government, industry and investor contacts.
