At PDMA’s Global Conference on Product Innovation Management this October 16-20th in Orlando, FL, we’ve continued the tradition from last year and included our “Technology Showcase.”
The Technology Showcase is an on-site marketplace of new ideas and pre-commercialized emerging technologies that are experiential and have a huge “WOW” factor. The Showcase will be incorporated into the conference program so attendees can learn from and interact with the innovations that will be helping to shape our future. Our goal is to engage in a way that both amazes and provides useful insights into innovative solutions and opportunities that might apply to business today.
Highlighted Technology Showcase Participant of the week: Xerox Silver Ink
Xerox Scientists Develop “Silver Bullet” Needed to Replace Silicon Circuits with Low-Cost, Durable Plastic Xerox to jump-start industry commercialization by providing printed electronics materials that easily print on plastics, film and textiles.
With the development of a new silver ink, Xerox scientists have paved the way for commercialization and low-cost manufacturing of printable electronics. Printable electronics offers manufacturers a very low-cost way to add “intelligence” or computing power to a wide range of surfaces such as plastic or fabric. This development will aid the commercialization of new applications such as “smart” pill boxes that track how much medication a patient has taken or display screens that roll up to fit into a briefcase.
