OE-A Highlights Flexible and Printed Electronics at productronica 2025

The OE-A and VDMA will have a joint booth during productronica in Munich from Nov. 18-21, 2025. The OE-A will highlight printed electronics on Nov. 19 and 20 through two dedicated sessions in B2: the Printed Electronics Pavilion powered by LOPEC.

These seminars will cover trending topics relevant to the industry. As a partner of productronica, OE-A will host free sessions showcasing the latest developments, future technologies, industry trends, and growth markets in flexible, organic, and printed electronics. OE-A members will present their innovations and insights.

The Printed Electronics Pavilion powered by LOPEC is located on the east side of Hall B2. The Future Production Cluster is also located in this hall. This is productronica’s special area for IT to production, Industry 4.0, manufacturing technologies for batteries and electrical energy storage systems, organic and printed electronics, 3D printing and additive manufacturing.
