European Ministers Visit OET Headquarters: Amazed by Pioneering Products

In a major step forward for green energy and agriculture, the Greek Minister of Rural Development and Food, Kostas Tsiaras, and his German counterpart, Cem Özdemir, visited the Nanotechnology & Organic Electronics Ecosystem in Thessaloniki, hosted by Professor Stergios Logothetidis, a leading expert in nanotechnology. This event marked a significant showcase of innovative technologies that have the potential to transform agriculture and energy production in Europe.
 
During the visit, the ministers were introduced to cutting-edge Organic Printed Photovoltaics (OPVs), a technology that stands out due to its transparent thin-film structure, lightweight design, flexibility, and high efficiency. Developed by the Organic Electronic Technologies (OET) company, these next-generation solar panels are seen as a game-changer in renewable energy. The Greek and German delegations had the opportunity to see firsthand how these innovations are being applied in AGRO-PV Hubs, including energy-autonomous greenhouses where crops like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants are cultivated using OPV-powered systems. These greenhouses not only reduce energy and water consumption but also increase crop yields by up to 30%.
Greek Minister Kostas Tsiaras emphasized the importance of nanotechnology for the agricultural sector, stating, “New technologies such as nanotechnology have the potential to solve long-standing challenges, particularly in securing energy, water, and higher-quality food production. These advancements will provide producers with the opportunity to achieve significant results, bringing tomorrow’s solutions into today’s primary sector.”
 
The visit also highlighted the European-backed Flex2Energy project, which aims to establish the world’s first automated manufacturing line for organic photovoltaics. This development is expected to propel Europe towards energy autonomy by reducing dependence on non-European sources for photovoltaic technologies, a point underscored by German Minister Cem Özdemir. “These flexible solar modules allow us to harvest both energy and food from the same land, offering a win-win solution for both the environment and the economy,” Özdemir noted.
 
The event underscored the strong collaboration between Greece and Germany in addressing global challenges such as climate change. By investing in innovative solutions like OPVs, Europe is moving closer to a sustainable, resilient future, with Thessaloniki emerging as a hub for green energy and technological advancement.
 
As the event concluded, Professor Logothetidis pointed out the global implications of this technology, revealing plans for large-scale manufacturing facilities that will further boost Europe’s position in the renewable energy landscape by the end of 2025. This collaboration sets the stage for a future where cutting-edge innovations drive both environmental sustainability and economic growth across the continent.

Building Europe’s Green Industry: An Event Within the Context of the 88th TIF

Building the Green Energy of Europe

In the framework of the 88th TIF and the events that focus on this year’s honored country Germany, the Nanotechnology & Organic Electronics Ecosystem (Organic Electronic Technologies-OΕΤ, Nanotechnology Lab LTFN/COPE-Nano, Hellenic Organic & Printed Electronics Association HOPE-A, BL Nanobiomed, VKNano), Alexander Innovation Zone and the German company COATEMA Coating Machinery, co-organize on Sunday 8 September at 11.30-13:00 an Event titled:

«Building the Green Energy of Europe: Flex2Energy & COPE-Nano Flagship Projects Contribution against the Climate, Energy and Food Crisis

In this Event, strategic partners will present and discuss the latest developments in Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, as well as the leading role of those partners based in Thessaloniki in developing and commercializing sustainable approaches and products to achieve Green Industry & Green Energy in Greece, Europe and the rest of the world.

More specifically, the event will offer an opportunity to present the Flagship Horizon Europe Flex2Energy Project (www.flex2energy.eu), the only project funded by the European Commission to found, in the city of Thessaloniki, the first Factory in the world for the mass production of Flexible Semi-transparent Organic Photovoltaics (3rd Generation Photovoltaics).

Flex2Energy is coordinated by the high-tech company OET with the participation of 17 strategic partners and industries from all over Europe (including the leading companies Coatema and Mondragon) with a total budget of €21.2 million. The new type of Photovoltaics that will be produced in Greece will be semi-transparent, lightweight and can be adapted on any surface. Their mass production will reduce their costs, but also consolidate Europe’s autonomy in the field of Green Energy. These Photovoltaics can be in buildings and cars and will fully meet the global demand for green sustainable cities. In the agricultural sector, Flexible Semi-Transparent Photovoltaics will ensure Energy autonomy in greenhouses and open crops, and achieving triple land use, thus leading to a substantial increase in agricultural production. This production line will be a game-changer, paving the way for the installation of Green & Digital Manufacturing Giga-Factories in Semi-Transparent Organic Photovoltaics, OLEDs and Biosensors in Greece, Europe and the world.

Also, the Horizon Europe Flagship Project COPE-Nano (HORIZON-WIDERA-2022-ACCESS-01) will be presented; COPE-Nano will advance the Nanotechnology Lab LTFN into an Autonomous and Sustainable Center of Excellence in Organic and Printed Electronics & Nanotechnologies, with a funding of €30 million. The project will create a pioneer European Center in Applied and Industrial Research in the rapidly developing areas of Organic Electronics & Green Energy (Agrivoltaics, Energy Autonomous Buildings, Transport & Automotive, etc.), Bioelectronics & Nanomedicine, Advanced Nano-Materials and Batteries.
