SmartKem Ltd accepted an invitation to join the Plastic Electronics Leadership Group (PELG) and attended a recent meeting in April at the Business Industry and Skills (BIS) headquarters in London.

The PELG has been established by representatives from industry, research and public organisations to actively promote research, development and manufacturing of plastic electronics in the United Kingdom.

Mike Cowin, SmartKem’s head of product development, attended the PELG meeting in April.

“SmartKem is eager to support the efforts of the PELG,” Cowin said. “ It’s a great fit for us as a technology leader in the supply of flexible semiconductors, but it also allows us to contribute to the UK PE efforts as a whole, given our experience and position in the Asian market.”

Indeed BIS has previously rated the UK as third in the world in relation to commercial activity in the field of plastic electronics, and this has recently been bolstered by the latest injection of £5.6M funding from BIS to create the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Large Area Electronics, which brings together four universities to tackle the research challenges involved in supporting the transition of the UK supply base for the PE industry into large area electronics manufacturing.
