The availability of sensors that can take the shape of and work reliably in their imposed complex and demanding working environment has existed for quite some time. The recent popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables, and disposables has created the need for low-cost single or multiple sensors per system that are small, lightweight and low power consuming that can also conform to the shape of the environment in which they must. Printed/Flexible/Stretchable sensors are estimated to be $6 billion of the $340 billion flexible electronics market by 2030. This Pre-Conference Symposium, made up of over a dozen of the world’s leading authorities on this topic, will address the entire “ecosphere” of P/F/S sensors. Developed for individuals such as system designers, engineering and executive management, and investment professionals, this session will foster better understanding of current and future opportunities presented by P/F/S sensors, their applications, and the recommended strategies necessary to effectively exploit their commercialization opportunities.
