🔍 LOPEC 2026 Highlight | Roundtable #Mission-#Critical #Electronics: From Civil to Defense & Aerospace As General Chair of LOPEC 2026, I see firsthand how strongly interest is growing in the use of flexible and printed electronics for defense and avionics applications — and also how many open questions still exist. That’s exactly why one of the highlights of LOPEC 2026 will be a roundtable discussion dedicated to applications, limitations, and real-world challenges in this highly demanding field. Together with experts from industry and research, we will openly discuss: where flexible and printed electronics already add value in defense and avionics. Which reliability, qualification, and integration hurdles remain, and what is realistically needed to move from promising technology to deployable systems. The roundtable format is designed for honest exchange, critical discussion, and practical insight — beyond marketing slides and laboratory success stories. 👉 More information and the full roundtable program can be found here: https://lnkd.in/dmWW495N If you are active in defense, avionics, aerospace, or high-reliability electronics, I warmly invite you to join this discussion at LOPEC 2026.
