10. Bridge the gap from R&D to production Europe is in organics R&D still in a leading position Main problem: gap from R&D to mass production Approaches to bridge the gap: Establish pilot production centers More demonstration projects: like LED cities in China? Better support for companies taking risks: taxation

11. Integration technology for organic devices Fabrication technology for organic devices Product related R&D Pilot production of organic devices Example: Pilot production at Fraunhofer COMEDD
