Activity 2

Flexmatters: flexible electronics is a science and manufacturing opportunity to print or deposit ultra-thin electronic components and devices on materials that flex, bend, fold or stretch. An innovation cluster has emerged around the flexible electronics industry in northeast ohio, and nortech has launched an initiative called flexmatters to accelerate its growth. There are currently 59 flexmatters cluster companies and/or research centers. Through its roadmapping work, nortech has identified $42 billion in global market opportunities for the cluster, which could create an estimated 3,020 jobs within seven years. Nortech assists its members with accelerating the commercialization of products through industry-specific cluster services, which include building cluster-based project teams, accessing industry-relevant project funding, and engaging anchor customers. Cluster metrics, such as the number of jobs created, payroll generated and capital attracted, are used to guide the evolution of these services.
