BILLERICA, MA -- SI2 Technologies (SI2), a Massachusetts-based RF and sensor systems company, has been recognized with an award as the first member of the latest Manufacturing Innovation Institute, NextFlex, which is focused on maturing flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) manufacturing.
The award was presented by NextFlex Executive Director, Malcolm Thompson, at the NextFlex Founders reception held in conjunction with the 2016FLEX Conference and Exhibition in Monterey, California. Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) are new forms of electronics that integrate bulk integrated circuits and printed devices in flexible systems that can bend, fold, stretch and conform. The NextFlex institute will catalyze the development of a domestic ecosystem for manufacturing FHE through a Hub and a network of Nodes, including one located in Massachusetts.
