Who said France is short on innovation? The Laboratory for Innovation in New Energy Technologies, or LITEN, is one of Europe’s largest centers for research into new energy technologies. This fast- growing research institute is one of four innovation centers in Grenoble on the campus of the CEA, the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission. The PICTIC platform in Grenoble develops new printing technologies for electronic components on flexible surfaces (plastic, paper, textiles, etc.) using inks containing organic materials, including polymers and/or nanomaterials such as silver nanowires instead of the traditional silicon. Potential applications are incredibly varied, ranging from flexible screens to medical biosensors, intelligent pack- aging and a
