LOPEC Printed Electronics – We Build the Market

What used to be a niche segment, is now a fully-fl edged, dynamic market. LOPEC 2014 confi rmed once again that printed electronics is here to stay—and is defi nitely on the way up. This opinion is shared by 84% of exhibitors. They are convinced that the sector’s positive economic growth will continue.

The market is growing fast, as is the leading trade show.

LOPEC itself refl ects that growth theme: With a signifi cant increase in visitor quality and quantity, higher visitor numbers and expanded exhibition space, the success story of the leading trade fair continues.
