The Printed Electronics Research Collaborative (PERC) Symposium was held in the SAAB ETIC building atrium at UMass Lowell on May 17, 2022. Over 70 attendees from 15+ industry and government partners participated in discussions on the challenges and future of additive manufacturing and printed electronics. The Raytheon UMass Lowell Research Institute (RURI) / PERC graduate students also had an opportunity to interact with the industry partners via a poster session.
On January 13, 2015 Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker announced a $4 million dollar grant from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (“MassTech”) to UMass Lowell to support development of a printed and flexible electronics industry cluster, an emerging field that has the potential to become a $76 billion global market in the next decade.
