One of the European Commission’s H2020 flagship projects, the Graphene Flagship, begins its exhibit at the 2016 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today.

The Graphene Pavilion will promote graphene in mobile applications, such as flexible batteries and wearables, in partnership with academic and industrial collaborators who aim to showcase their shared goals as well as the already numerous applications of the ‘wonder material’.

The exhibit’s curator, Professor Frank Koppens, of the Institute of Photonic Sciences, said: “The pavilion shows the future of graphene and its impact on the mobile ecosystem. The impact of graphene applications in the mobile industry will be profound, and we can already see great progress being achieved. Thus, the 2016 Mobile World Congress is definitely the right place and time to showcase exciting prototype demonstrations developed by companies and academic institutions“.

A graphene session will conclude the 2016 Mobile World Congress on Thursday 25 February with Koppens speaking alongside other notable graphene stakeholders including Dr Vittorio Pellegrini, director of Graphene Labs, Italian Institute of Technology, Genoa, Italy, and Dr Chung-Ping, CEO and founder of Bluestone Global Tech, UK.

A keynote speech given by Sir Konstantin Novoselov, Noble Prize winner and graphene scientist, will also take place in the morning of 25 February.
