EURIPIDES FORUM 2012

The 2012 EURIPIDES forum highlights wireless connectivity (RFID, NFC), smart power applications and smart systems for medical applications in Graz (Austria).

The 2012 EURIPIDES Forum will take place in Graz (Austria) from June 13th to 15th, 2012. This sixth edition will focus on emerging technologies and future markets in the field of wireless connectivity (RFID, NFC), smart power applications and smart systems for medical applications. Participants will also have the opportunity to visit industrial sites and research facilities.

This event will, after the successful Helsinki Forum, demonstrate the strengths of EURIPIDES for packaging and integration of micro devices as well as smart systems for the European industry. Projects results will be showcased in terms of innovation, partnerships, business and societal impact. But above all, this forum will provide dedicated networking opportunities to set up new projects by bringing together different players in the innovation chain.

Heinz Moitzi, CTO of AT&S and EURIPIDES Council member commented: “We are very proud to organize the EURIPIDES Forum in Styria in 2012. Within Austria, Styria is the undisputed front runner when it comes to R&D and can be considered as one of the most innovative regions in Europe. Many international high tech companies are operating their development centers in Styria. This event is a unique opportunity to meet the forum members and exchange ideas.”

“Networking has always been a strong asset of our meetings and Graz provides all the necessary ingredients for projects “cooking”: innovation actors (industry, Sme’s, academia, clusters), public authorities, technology providers in particular with the COWIN market place and the EURIPIDES network. Graz will also set the first milestone on the road to our EUREKA cluster follow-up.” says Jean-Luc Maté, VP Continental Engineering Services and EURIPIDES Chairman.
