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.
