Emerging Printed Electronics Research Infrastructure

Free-of-charge access for research & technology organizations, industry and small-medium enterprises to develop projects on sustainable flexible large-area printed electronics and photonics.

We are excited to share the latest developments from the EMERGE project. The project's open calls have attracted diverse participants from academia, industries, start-ups, and small-medium enterprises, contributing to its resounding success. The collaborative efforts of European partners have formed a vibrant community, fueling valuable knowledge exchange. The high-quality proposals received during the open calls have been approved for further development, generating valuable insights and outcomes. As EMERGE continues, it promises to make significant contributions to the European innovation ecosystem and shape the future of green flexible large area electronics and photonics technologies (FLAPEP).

Step into the world of innovation and witness the incredible capabilities of PulseForge photonic sintering/ curing technology at the Research institutes of Sweden (RISE) lab, Printed Electronics Arena (PEA). Experts from RISE, DP Patterning, and Merconics showcased PulseForge Invent system's potential, a revolutionary technique that can melt or transform materials with a flash of high intensity light. The event demonstrated real-time applications, including sintering of copper, silver, and gold inks, drying of graphene-based paste, and soldering on various materials. Attendees had the opportunity to test the technology with their own materials, maximizing its potential for their businesses. PulseForge's versatility was highlighted by its performance on flexible substrates like plastic, paper, TPU, and textiles. By integrating PulseForge into your electronics production line, you can achieve up to 80% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional reflow soldering. This not only saves costs but also showcases your commitment to sustainability. Partnering with EMERGE and PEA at RISE provides access to PulseForge technology. Whether you're in sustainable, flexible, printed, or organic electronics, PulseForge unlocks the next level of success for your business.
