The Canadian Printable Electronics Industry Association (CPEIA), the catalyst of Canada’s printable, flexible and wearable electronics ecosystem, will be at Printed Electronics USA conference next week, with Canada’s delegation at the Team Canada Pavilion.

Hosted by market research firm IDTechEx, the annual conference is the largest of its kind in the world dedicated to commercializing printable, flexible and wearable electronics. There are 210 confirmed exhibitors, 220 speakers from 22 countries and more than 3,000 attendees expected. This year’s conference takes place Nov. 18-19 in Santa Clara, CA.

The Team Canada Pavilion will anchor Canada’s presence at the conference. It is the result of teaming efforts led by the National Research Council of Canada, a strategic partner of the CPEIA. The booth (#I25) will feature 10 CPEIA-member organizations, such as Tangio Printed Electronics which will feature renowned composer and producer Phi Bui playing a PE-enabled musical instrument – a force-sensing membrane-based keyboard.

“Canadian companies are making fantastic progress to develop amazing products and applications at the leading edge of printable, flexible and wearable technology, to create jobs and reaffirm Canada’s reputation for innovation on the global stage,” says Peter Kallai, president and CEO of the CPEIA. “We are proud to have so many of our members representing Canada at this event, as both exhibitors and speakers.”
