Suzhou has a dynamic environment that is focused on the rapid commercialization of printed and flexible electronics. These companies and institutes are moving up the value chain to supply the next generation of materials, devices and manufacturing.
Printable Electronics Research Center 
The Printable Electronics Research Center (PERC), within the Suzhou Institute of Nanotech and Nanobionics (SINANO), is a hub for printed and organic electronics research with a focus toward commercialization. The Center provides expertise and facilities in the areas below:
The Center utilizes a wide variety of printing technologies and equipment, such as aerosol jet, gravure, slot, ink jet printing etc. PERC's new facility has large space for expansion, for example, roll-to-roll prototyping production lines.
Award-Winning
The Printable Electronics Research Centre, led by Prof. Zheng Cui, and his team was recently awarded the 2014 Printed Electronics Europe Award recognizing their breakthrough innovation in printed nanomaterial process for manufacturing transparent conductive films. This is significant, as the award demonstrates that Chinese researchers are doing world-class nano-material and manufacturing innovation, again showing Suzhou, and China's, transition from "Made in China" to "Created in China".
Dynamic Environment of Innovative Companies & Spin-Offs
There are many companies in Suzhou that are utilizing printing and coating technologies not only for flexibility but also to try and achieve lower cost solutions as well as new functionality.
These companies are pursuing not only new materials and processes to create their products, but some companies are even designing and making their own equipment. That is, they are working at an advanced level, at that intimate connection between process and equipment, such that they know how to optimize and tune materials and processes.

SVG Optronics is a leader in nano-imprint and nano-patterning for displays, lighting, OLEDs, optical security. SVG has large format roll-to-roll manufacturing processes.
Other companies such as UC Nano develop large size flexible touch films, while equipment companies like GD Nano, develop nano-imprint equipment.
Printed Electronics Collaborative Ecosystem
With the Printable Electronics Center as a hub, as well as innovative, dynamic companies, Suzhou is creating an ecosystem for rapid commercialization. Suzhou welcomes industry collaborations with materials, equipment and device partners for printed and flexible electronics.
VTT of Finland, a leader in printed electronics, has set up its R&D in the China-Finland Nano Innovation Center in Nanopolis. VTT is combining their expertise with that of companies and institutes in Suzhou.
Come to Suzhou to see these rapidly developments and
partner for innovative technologies and fast commercialization
