FLEX Conference 2022 Set to Open With Focus on Latest Flexible Hybrid Electronics Innovations and Disruptors

MILPITAS, Calif. — July 6, 2022 — FLEX Conference opens next week with keynotes, panel discussions, technical sessions and product-based demonstrations highlighting the latest innovations in flexible and printed electronics as they continue to re-shape how people work and live. July 11-14 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, the event is co-located with SEMICON West Hybrid, North America’s premier microelectronics exhibition and conference that unites players across the entire electronics manufacturing and design supply chain. Registration for both events is open.  

LogoThemed Electronics in Motion, FLEX Conference 2022 will focus on equipment, processes, materials and applications driving the latest flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) technology breakthroughs. The event will also showcase innovations emerging from public-private partnerships formed by SEMI Technology Communities SEMI-FlexTech, SEMI-NBMC (Nano-Bio Materials Consortium) and SEMI-NextFlex.

Advances in sustainability across traditional and flexible electronics will come into focus at the Global Sustainability Summit at SEMICON West Hybrid and FLEX as FHE devices combine new levels of processing and sensing capability with improved power usage for greater energy efficiency.
