How time flies! We founded PragmatIC a decade ago, with a mission to create a new type of integrated circuit (IC) that was thin, flexible and ultra-low-cost.
While it’s fair to say that it’s been a longer journey than we originally anticipated, we are incredibly proud of what we have achieved – a completely new semiconductor manufacturing technology platform, implemented in a scalable manufacturing line, and proven in mass-market applications with the potential for trillions of smart objects.
And all this has been achieved with a total investment of just £50 million – less than many electronics companies spend on bringing to market a single new silicon IC product!

The concept of low-cost flexible ICs (FlexICs) arose from the printed electronics industry, which aimed to fundamentally reinvent how electronic devices were fabricated using additive processing of solution-based materials.
