On March 31, 2026, the 2D-PRINTABLE & HYPERSONIC Symposium took place in Dublin, Ireland, gathering leading experts from academia, industry, and policy to explore the future of 2D printed materials for digital electronics. The one-day event provided a vibrant platform for knowledge exchange, showcasing the latest advances in printable and flexible electronics based on 2D materials.
Co-organised by the 2D-PRINTABLE and HYPERSONIC projects, the symposium featured distinguished speakers from the Graphene Flagship, including Diana Marcano (SAFARI project) and Matti Mäntysalo (ARMS project), as well as Gianluca Fiori from the Innovative Advanced Materials Initiative (IAM-I). Their contributions highlighted cutting-edge developments, emerging technologies, and key challenges in the field. Project partners also presented their latest research results, reinforcing the strong innovation potential of 2D materials in next-generation electronic applications.
The event fostered dynamic interaction between early-career researchers and established experts, encouraging new collaborations and discussions on future research directions. The day concluded with a high-level panel featuring representatives from industry, policy, and commercialization sectors, including Enterprise Ireland, addressing the broader innovation landscape and pathways to market uptake.
Overall, the symposium marked an important milestone for both projects, strengthening connections across the ecosystem and reinforcing the role of 2D materials as a key enabling technology for future digital electronics.
