Who we are and what we do
The 4 pillars of organic and large area electronics
Holst Centre Fundamentals
• Independent, with reputed parents
Founded by IMEC Belgium and TNO The
Netherlands
Operational since 2006 (HTC, Eindhoven)
• Working with our partners
Staff of 170 researchers
Involving strong groups of mother
organisations
70 resident researchers from industry and
universities
• Shared research on
printed electronics and
wireless transducer systems
Flexible Electronics
• Application Drivers
OLED lighting
Organic solar cells
Flexible displays
Flexible smart devices
• Technology drivers
Large area
