The Graphene Flagship is a #DecadeStrong
The Graphene Flagship celebrates its ten-year anniversary this year. For this reason, we would like to take a moment to acknowledge the progress we have made, the milestones we have reached and, most of all, the people who have made it possible.
Celebrating key milestones for the Graphene Flagship
Black Semiconductor secures funding to launch new semiconductor technology in Europe
Black Semiconductor, a spin-off and current partner of the Graphene Flagship, secures EUR 254.4 million in funding to launch new semiconductor technology in Europe.
Graphene Flagship celebrates successes of first-of-its-kind 2D materials project
The Graphene Flagship is hosting a symposium from June 11 to 12 at the Town Hall Europe, Brussels, to celebrate the successes of its €20 million 2D Experimental Pilot Line (2D-EPL) project. Representing the first graphene foundry to integrate graphene and other 2D materials into semiconductor devices, the symposium will demonstrate the 2D-EPL’s progress in creating an ecosystem for 2D materials within electronics, photonics and biomedical devices.
Graphene Flagship Exhibition Opens in Brussels
On Friday, 26 April 2024, the Graphene Flagship launched an exhibition celebrating the initiative's decade of success and plans for the future in the European Commission's Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CNECT) offices in Brussels. Roberto Viola, Director-General for DG CNECT delivered the keynote talk, praising the success of the project and its contribution to the European 2D materials ecosystem.
Global graphene market will continue to grow, researchers find
Meta-market analysis identifies composites, batteries and electronics as major application areas likely to drive the overall development of the graphene market towards mass production.
Graphene Pavilion Tour: What is graphene and how is it used?
Learn about graphene and its various uses in applications ranging from aircraft overhead to cars on the road, and even underground. Graphene's properties can make materials stronger, lighter, flexible and even electrically conductive. That opens many possibilities for new and improved technologies.
Annual Report 2022
The latest Graphene Flagship Annual Report reflects on a decade of 2D materials innovation. Celebrating 10 years, the Graphene Flagship has brought graphene out of the lab and into commercial applications. This edition of the annual report highlights the project's journey from fundamentals to applications. Features cover the Graphene Flagship's concrete outputs, successes and the 2D Experimental Pilot Line's first multi project wafer run.

Graphene Flagship outputs
Spearhead ventures
One third of the Core 3 funding was invested into spearhead projects, a bold move to maximise the impact of the Graphene Flagship in the innovation ecosystem and the European economy.
Graphene Flagship evolution
Economic Impact Report
To properly assess the Graphene Flagship’s economic impact, we commissioned a report from WifOR, an independent economic research institute. By analysing our project outputs, growth in key European industries and the distribution of the original investment by the European Commission, WifOR was able to estimate the project’s impact. Based on a total investment of €1.4 billion in European projects for graphene and related materials, the Graphene Flagship contributed a gross value added of €5.8 billion and helped to create 81,622 jobs in Europe. The Graphene Flagship has yielded an impact 14.5 times higher than the European Commission’s direct investment in the project of €401 million over the past ten years.
Partnering Projects
A Partnering Project (PP) is a research or innovation project whose objectives are relevant to the Graphene Flagship. PPs bring in new and complementary research directions and expertise, by performing research, innovation and networking activities in cooperation with members of the Graphene Flagship. A number of projects were associated with the Graphene Flagship in Horizon 2020.
