  1. How to Test What You cannot yet see – test protocols in printed electronics projects

    In many R&D projects, especially in printed electronics, there is a moment when you are expected to test something that does not yet exist. There is no finished component, nothing to physically connect, nothing you can press or measure in a standard way. And yet, decisions must be made, budgets...

  2. S01E36 EN Partner or subcontractor. How to build real partnerships in R&D projects

    In many R&D projects today, there is one question that is rarely asked directly, but has a huge impact on the outcome. Are you working with a supplier, or with a real partner? At first, the difference may seem small. Both deliver something. Both are part of the project. But when the project…

  11. How printed electronics is changing the rules in IoT ?

    When was the last time someone from your R&D team said, “It can’t be done”? Maybe because the part is too big, too stiff, the battery doesn’t fit, or the PCB can’t bend. Maybe everything fails when humidity is high. For many CEOs, these limits aren’t just frustrating. They’re a real risk to…
