ORGANIC ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGIES PRIVATE COMPANY

Their core work

OE Technologies is a Greek SME specializing in organic and printed electronics manufacturing — OLEDs, organic photovoltaics (OPV), and thin-film devices produced via roll-to-roll printing and organic vapour phase deposition (OVPD). They contribute manufacturing process expertise, in-line metrology, and nano-characterization capabilities to EU research consortia focused on scaling these technologies from lab to pilot line. Their work sits at the intersection of advanced materials processing, quality control for high-volume production, and digital modelling of manufacturing workflows.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In their early H2020 period (2017–2019), OE Technologies focused squarely on physical manufacturing: pilot lines, in-line metrology, roll-to-roll printing, and OVPD for organic electronics and automotive applications. From 2020 onward, their focus broadened into digital and sustainability dimensions — multiscale process modelling, data interoperability, ontologies, and nano-functionalized sustainable materials. This shift shows a company moving from "how do we manufacture organic electronics at scale" to "how do we digitally model, standardize, and sustain these manufacturing processes."

OE Technologies is evolving from a pure manufacturing process specialist toward digital twins and data-driven manufacturing, making them increasingly relevant for Industry 4.0 and sustainable electronics consortia.

How they like to work

OE Technologies participates exclusively as a partner — they have never coordinated a project, which is typical for a specialized SME contributing specific technical capabilities rather than leading large research agendas. With 58 unique partners across 16 countries in just 6 projects, they operate in large, diverse consortia (averaging ~10 partners per project). This suggests they are a sought-after specialist that different consortium leaders invite for their organic electronics manufacturing expertise.

Broad European network with 58 unique partners spanning 16 countries, built entirely through participant roles in mid-to-large consortia. Their Thessaloniki base connects them to both Southern and Northern European research ecosystems without a strong geographic bias.

What sets them apart

OE Technologies occupies a rare niche: they are one of very few European SMEs with hands-on expertise in both organic vapour phase deposition and roll-to-roll printing at pilot-line scale. Their combination of physical manufacturing capability with growing digital modelling and data standardization work makes them a bridge between traditional fabrication and digitized manufacturing. For consortium builders, they bring real production-floor expertise that many academic partners cannot offer.

Highlights from their portfolio
