Webinar: Printing for Profits: Making Money from Investments in Printed, Flexible, and Organic Electronics

February 5, 2013

Description

Venture capitalists have invested $7.4 billion in printed, flexible, and organic electronics technologies. However, the investment landscape and guiding principles by which VCs direct their investments are shifting as some technologies become overfunded while others become gold mines. Lux Research analyzed every dollar by the technology into which it was invested to understand how investors’ views on these areas have evolved, and further analyzed $4.9 billion in exits to see where VCs are profiting. Based on this data, we identified three specific technologies which now offer the strongest opportunity for investors, and filtered out those which have been overfunded. Finally, we identified which investors are trendsetters, shaping the future of the industry, and which have mis-allocated their portfolios. This webinar will examine:
  • Investment in printed, flexible, and organic electronics technologies including displays, transparent conductive films, smart packaging, thin film batteries, and organic photovoltaics
  • Which technology families and specific technologies within those families have received the most investment, and how that investment has trended in recent years
  • Which investment strategies have been the most successful, ranking investors to determine which have allocated their investments to technologies offering the greatest opportunity
