This distinction is granted every year by IDTechEx, an analyst firm covering printed electronics and thin film photovoltaics.
The award was presented to an audience of over 270 attendees last night at the Printed Electronics Europe conference, Europe’s largest event in this field. IDTechEx CEO Raghu Das stated, “This award is to recognize the enormous work Germany Trade & Invest has done to advance this industry. Their contribution has had a profound effect on the commercialization of the technology and has resulted in Germany becoming the global leader in this field.”
