LOPEC and OE-A 2025 Competitions Reward Breakthroughs in Printed and Organic Electronics
The winners of the annual “OE-A Competition” and the “LOPEC Start-Up Competition” were officially revealed at LOPEC 2025. This year, the OE-A Competition emphasized sustainable innovations aimed at the smart living sector.
This year’s OE-A competition was dominated by projects and products that focus on smart living. 20 entrants from around the world submitted their latest visions and products to the OE-A Competition 2025. From smart patches for healthcare applications to hydrogen tanks and new lighting applications: innovative demos and products that illustrate the potential and capabilities of printed electronics were recognized at LOPEC 2025, the international exhibition and conference for printed electronics, in Munich, Germany. The competition is organized annually by the OE-A (Organic and Printed Electronics Association), a working group within the VDMA.
The panel of judges, comprising experts from international companies and research institutions, assessed 20 submissions across three categories. In addition to the jury’s evaluation, LOPEC attendees had the opportunity to cast their votes. At their booth, where all demonstrators were showcased, visitors were invited to select their favorite innovation for the “Public Choice Award.”
“The OE-A Competition 2025 is particularly notable for its numerous applications in the smart living sector. We have increasingly seen projects that offer smart solutions for everyday life with a strong emphasis on sustainability ” said Dr. Klaus Hecker, Managing Director of the OE-A.
Each year, the competition pushes the printed electronics industry to present its most innovative and forward-thinking developments.
