Plastic electronics is being predicted to be the next big breakthrough technology and the Technology Strategy Board has created a £3m fund to help designers and technology specialists turn ideas for products and services into reality.
A workshop is planned for March to help people get their ideas realised as working prototypes and potentially share in the fund.
The UK is a world leader in plastic electronics, much of the fundamental research is happening here now. We are also world leaders in design and creating excellent products, services and user experiences. This workshop is an opportunity for these two specialists to get together and build projects together.
The Creative Industries KTN held an information day together with the Photonics and Plastic Electronics KTN to share information about this opportunity.
Check out the videos on our web site to find out more about plastic electronics, how designers can work effectively with technology researchers to accelerate innovation and most importantly how to apply to be part of this amazing £3m opportunity.
