This was an opportunity to showcase GRAPHERGIA’s research on graphene-empowered energy harvesting and storage on smart textiles and Li-ion batteries to key industry players.
Michael Schneider, the CEO of Born Gmbh, represented GRAPHERGIA at the event as the leader of our Demo Case #1: “All in one self-charging textile capable of energy harvesting and storage”. Around 80 event participants were reached directly at the exhibition booth.
“LOPEC is all about printed electronics, which is one the most important industries that increase user experience and acceptance of textile-based wearables, because it allows electronics to approximate the properties of textiles, and thus, be combined seamlessly.” – Michael Schneider, CEO of Born – Knitting Engineers.
