The Graphene Flagship introduced a Graphene Pavilion at the 2016 Mobile World Congress (#MWC16 - #GrapheneMWC). Alongside co-exhibitors from industry and academia, the Flagship highlighted graphene in mobile applications, stretching from bendable batteries to new wearables sensors. Read and watch videos reporting on past exciting days @MWC16.
The Graphene Flagship activities at the Mobile World Congress fell into three activities:
- 22-25 Feb: The "Graphene Pavilion" showcasing graphene-based products and demos. Watch 1-minute VIDEO: Welcome to the Graphene Pavilion
- 25 Feb: Keynote speech " Mobile is Innovation" by Nobel Prize winner & scientist in Graphene Flagship Sir Konstantin Novoselov. Watch video: Prof Novoselov presents the work done last yeasr on graphene and work doing now beyond graphene.
- 25 Feb:Graphene session by Frank Koppens (ICFO), Vittorio Pellegrini (IIT), Tapani Ryhanen (Nokia), Mike Banach (FlexEnable), Chung-Ping Lai (BGT). See also: "The Graphene revolution ".
The Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) curator of Graphene Pavilion reporting on MWC16:
"The highlights of this 4-day amazing experience are summarised as:
- Graphene debuts at the Mobile World Congress 2016 exposed to 100.000+ visitors
- 12 companies and 12 research centres involved in the Graphene Pavilion
- Graphene-based interactiv-e prototypes, demos and applications in the fields of: Flexible display Technologies, Wearables, Internet of Things, Energy Transmission & Storage, and Data Communications
- VIP tours organized by GSMA and visits from Government representatives and celebrities
- Average 250 business contacts per exhibitor
- More than 150 national and international media hits"
