For the future of Organic and large Area Electronics in Europe. The EU funded OPERA project proposes to coordinate the work of academia and industry in organic & large area electronics (OLAE). The overall objective of the project is strengthen the position of Europe as the leading force in OLAE in the world.
At present, the sector of organic & large area electronics suffers from 2 main handicaps. Firstly, the sector has grown without a coherent overall strategy which leads to duplication of efforts, inefficiency and poor synergy. These are major obstacle sin the emergence of a truly global force. Secondly, the sector is still at too early a stage of development to justify massive investment form the end-user industry. The lack of investment impedes growth towards a critical mass. The specific objective of the project is to create the conditions for the establishment of a number of coordinated competitive clusters in Europe. This would address both problems simultanerously.
