Graphene for electronics
As the electronics industry strives to maintain its pace of innovation, graphene – being flexible, strong, thin and highly conductive – has much to offer. Graphene can help to facilitate the next generation of technology from chips and interconnects for data communication to flexible screens for wearable technology. With miniaturisation a major driving factor of the electronics industry, graphene’s thinness coupled with its high room temperature conductivity shows great promise.
All these subareas represent good opportunities for Europe, either because companies/industries can be enabled by graphene development or because a good part of the corresponding value chain is already in Europe, and in many cases world class research is supporting the creation of new products.

Graphene oxide added to the composition of the liquid artificial retina: A further step toward clinical trials
Graphene Flagship partner, the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, together with IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliera Metropolitana – Policlinico San Martino Hospital, has demonstrated that graphene oxide—used for the first time in the ophthalmic field—enhances the liquid artificial retina, increasing light sensitivity and recovery of visual function in advanced stages of retinitis pigmentosa. The study, published in Nature Communications, led to the restoration of electrical activity in the visual cortex, bringing this strategy closer to future clinical trials in humans.
International researchers explore laser techniques for integrating graphene and nanomaterials
On 17 April 2026, a total of 46 participants joined the GRAPHERGIA Hub Webinar Series 5 conversation about how advanced laser-based methods are transforming the integration of graphene and functional nanomaterials into flexible substrates and next-generation electronic devices, targeting smart textile applications.
