PragmatIC awarded grant to develop production equipment

PragmatIC has been awarded €1.6million funding under the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme (phase 2), for development of its FlexLogIC equipment.

Described as a ‘fab-in-a-box’ model, FlexLogIC is said to produce flexICs at costs between 100 and 1000 times lower than a silicon fab.

Scott White, CEO, said: “This significant grant award provides further validation of the unique and compelling nature of the FlexLogIC equipment, and its potential to drive the commercial roll-out of mass market flexible electronics."

PragmatIC’s technology platform enables the production of flexible integrated circuits that can be embedded in any surface, introducing interactivity into a range of applications from intelligent packaging of consumer goods, to wireless traceability of documents for security and identification.
