built 655 days ago
The Holst Centre, located at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, is an international research organization with two program lines: Wireless, Autonomous Transducer Solutions and System-in-Foil Products and Production (large-area electronics on and in foil). It has been founded in 2005 by IMEC (Flanders, Belgium) and TNO (the Netherlands). The centre is partly funded by government and partly by industrial participations, from multinationals to SME's, along the complete value chain from material suppliers and production equipment manufacturers to end product manufacturers. It's research programs are driven by industrial roadmaps and aim at generic technology that can be applied by its industrial program participants.

The Holst Centre is an independent R&D institute that develops generic technologies and technology platforms for autonomous wireless transducer solutions and systems-in-foil. A key feature of the Centre is interaction and cooperation with industry and academia. It is this kind of cross-fertilization that will enable the Holst Centre to tune its scientific strategy to industrial needs.

The Holst Centre aims to be an internationally recognized and leading R&D centre in the abovementioned fields, with a strong industrial participation and with a staff of 70 in 2006 growing to over 200 in 2010. The "System-in-Foil Products and Production" program line develops technologies for large-area, ultra thin products such as printed lighting and signage, sensor tags, antenna's, solar cells and displays based on polymer electronics. Within the Holst Centre, TNO is responsible for this program line.
