The intelliFLEX Innovation Alliance congratulates its Canadian members who claimed half the awards last week at IDTechEx LIVE!/Printed Electronics USA in Santa Clara, CA.
 
Memtronik Innovations took the Best in Show Award for having the brightest, busiest and most innovative booth. Memtronik develops electronic surfaces – including membrane switches, touch screens, circuits and overlays – for electronics, home appliance, industrial, medical, pharmaceutical, security, transport and wearable manufacturers.
 
“The concept of our booth was really to have an innovative look and feel that well represents the printed electronics market and give participants the opportunity to interact with products and have a full end-user experience,” said Jessica Forget, Memtronik’s VP business development and marketing.
 
Myant won the Best New Wearable Technology Device Award for SKIIN Smart Underwear. This comfortable and washable smart garment can detect signals from your body, including heart rate (ECG), breathing, motion and posture, temperature, hydration and body fat percentage.
 
“This is a fantastic recognition of all the hard work and dedication our talented team has delivered over the past two years to get SKIIN Smart Underwear ready for market,” said Tony Chahine, CEO of Myant. “We are building a platform that connects all humans, and this is the first step. Stay tuned for the full commercial launch in the new year.”
 
Voltera claimed the Best Product Award for its Voltera V-One, a desktop system for printing circuit boards, dispensing solder paste and reflowing components, allowing users to go from concept to creation in minutes.
 
“The V-One was among the first products to introduce the broader electronics industry to the benefits of printed electronics and we are thrilled with how it’s being used as the proving ground for materials development by organizations all over the world,” said Alroy Almeida, Co-founder and CEO at Voltera.
