Nano ePrint Secures Grant for Research and Development

Nano ePrint Ltd, the pioneer in planar nano-electronics, announced that it has secured a grant for R&D from the UK’s Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA). The grant will provide £234k of funding towards a £390k project to demonstrate Nano ePrint’s unique printed programmable logic architecture.

This complements other venture investment and grant funding raised by the company to industrialize and commercialize its innovative approach to printed electronics.

Nano ePrint has already demonstrated that its nano-scale devices not only dramatically simplify manufacture, but also achieve more than 10 times the performance and more than 100 times the density of conventional printed electronics.

This new funding supports the further development of Nano ePrint’s modular and configurable circuit architecture to deliver the world’s first printed programmable logic devices.

This approach enables low-cost, high-volume manufacture of a generic circuit design, which can then be tailored for customer-specific requirements as it is integrated into downstream printing processes.

Nano ePrint can therefore address a wide range of market applications, from niche novelty products (such as simple printed electronic games) right through to mass-market electronic smart packaging, with a single device.

Scott White, CEO of Nano ePrint, commented, “This exceptional grant highlights the novelty of Nano ePrint’s approach and the huge market opportunity enabled by our printed programmable logic architecture. We are grateful for the support of the NWDA in further developing this ground-groundbreaking technology.”
