The driving force for electrification in light commercial vehicle sector is increasingly the economics. Whilst environmental and public health concerns have been the main motivation for the electrification of on-road vehicles, in the LCV sector, businesses are recognising that electrification of their commercial fleet is also likely to save them money.

This webinar explores how flexible and printed electronics is allowing organisations to radically improve and distinguish products, make the unfeasible feasible, and provide opportunities for improving medical monitoring, human machine interfaces and much more.

Construction, agriculture and mining CAM vehicles have similar technology and are increasingly supplied by the same manufacturers facing a $100 billion opportunity with none of the problems of the car industry. Indeed, the more savvy Tier One car suppliers are successfully moving into this arena.

Agricultural vehicles, from greenhouse robots to outdoor precision farming, tractors, forestry vehicles and turf care, are rapidly going electric. Increasingly they get their electricity off-grid, zero-emission, on-site using technology similar to that in an EV.

IDTechEx research has determined that the robotic surgery market will exceed $12bn by 2030. It is very different today than it was five years ago as it is no longer the single company market it once was.

Cardiovascular disease is currently the leading cause of death worldwide. It is also a major burden on healthcare systems, costing billions every year. A wide range of technologies have been developed to tackle the disease at various stages of progression.

When some full-function, always-on smartwatches are able to self-charge, the others will look like the horse-drawn cart. When Internet of Things nodes are self-charging at the right size and price, the market for them will increase one thousand times.

From mobile phones, TVs, to cars and public screens, displays have become an important component in our daily life to convey information. There is an emerging display type - micro-LED displays, that has the potential to become the next-gen mainstream, with its ability to be fabricated from tiny to huge sizes.

While flexible electronics have been around for years, either as flexible PCBs or genuinely printed electronics, there has always been a trade-off between flexibility and capability, this is changing with flexible hybrid electronics . Circuits with a few printed transistors based on organic semiconductors could be printed onto flexible substrates but were not generally capable of significant data processing

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. The outbreak of COVID-19 started in December 2019 with the first case reported in China. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic on 11 March 2020.
