Trade fairs and conferences

The pro flex conference, launched by the Fraunhofer FEP in 2004, is a major event for the roll-to-roll processing of flexible materials. It is aimed at industry experts, engineers and scientists, as well as innovators, managers, decision-makers and newcomers who develop or do business with roll-to-roll technologies. The conference consists of a combination of plenary talks, a tour of the Fraunhofer FEP laboratories, a poster session, and a get-together.

The main topics of this year's pro flex are:

• Vacuum technologies for advanced manufacturing: insights into roll-to-roll systems
• Vacuum coating technologies for batteries
• Surface structuring by wet coating
• Sustainable packaging
• Thermochromic materials for building applications
• Scalable technologies for flexible perovskite solar cells
• Funding strategies: navigating opportunities and establishing collaborative networks across the European Union

Dr. Stephan Ulrich from the Fraunhofer IST will be giving a lecture as part of the conference program.
