Electronics integrated in plastic parts is opening up new possibilities as regards implementing less costly and more resilient manufacturing procedures in different sectors. One of the technologies that is causing a revolution in this field is called In Mould Electronics (IME), a manufacturing technique that integrates electronics during a plastic injection process.

In view of this revolution, the Basque technology centres GAIKER and Tekniker have signed a collaborative agreement to boost the development of innovative solutions that include this technology. Another aim is to share their expertise and know how as key drivers for the Basque industry.

Consequently, this new partnership featuring two BRTA (Basque Research and Technology Alliance) members will offer major collaborative and development opportunities as well as the possibility of implementing joint solutions aimed at integrating electronics in plastic components and generating synergies with other stakeholders in the business fabric.
