drupa 2024 takes place from May 28 to June 7 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Dr. Klaus Hecker, managing director of OE-A, a Working Group within VDMA, speaks about the drupa show and its significance for the printed electronics industry:

• “drupa is a great opportunity for the printed electronics industry to come together with the graphic printing industry on one platform.
We expect drupa to highlight a range of innovative solutions and the latest sustainable printing methods and practices. Sustainability is a driving force in many industries, including printing and packaging. We believe that printed electronics plays a crucial role,
when it comes to more sustainable packaging solutions.”

• “The global packaging market is expected to grow in the coming years, also driven by the continued growth of e-commerce.
The integration of printed electronics will enable smart packaging. Smart packaging supports logistic processes, protects against
counterfeiting, and can monitor temperature, humidity, or mechanical stress. It enables active wireless communication and IoT
applications by printed NFC and RFID tags.”

• “Printed electronics provides the toolbox for a wide range of applications including smart packaging: sensors, batteries, lighting,
energy harvesting – produced with environmentally friendly and resource-saving processes using sustainable materials and substrates.”
