 Welcome, good morning everyone. Welcome to the ID Tech X show here in Santa Clara. We've got a truly great show for you over the next few days. We have over 3,200 people pre-registered and we normally have 300 or 400 more walking during the day. We have over 220 speakers and also over 200 exhibitors. There's going to be lots of new announcements and lots of exciting things to see. So what I want to do in my presentation just over the next 15 minutes or so, is really firstly, before I tell you about the event, to tell you a bit about some of the big themes of technologies that we're covering in this event. As I'm sure you're aware, we look at a whole range of different technologies and I really want to highlight to you how all of these are very much interrelated. So starting off with one of the big themes first, it's really about new form factors of electronics coming through which are enabling new design freedoms and therefore new market opportunities. One of those new form factors is stretchable electronics. Here we've seen a lot of new innovation to enable stretchable electronics from things such as stretchable links to those working ways we can make stretchable to ridges and devices and also complete centre structures. Quite a bit of this is already commercial. We have a market in the E-Tec starts page, which is all around stretchable usually, worth $150 million this year, growing to $3 billion, 10 years from now. Today, the commercial applications and wearables include things like e-convest, also a lot of sportswear from a different brand. To highlight the greater interest in stretchable electronics, when we've looked at the amount of money being invested in this area, we see that in 2015, 30 times the amount of money that was invested in companies focusing on stretchable electronics versus those in 2012. It really is one key area which is enabling new form factors to enable new opportunities. Also relating to new form factor electronics is this concept of structural electronics. If we introduced this event about a year ago, it's really taking the old approach of components being involved the last 100 years or so and changing that into structures becoming a bunch of components. So this can include structures being included for example with smart skins or ultimately low bearing components. Out of last year's, now everything has been commercialised in many different ways. One is that we have millions of smartphones out there on the market which have a 3D-based antenna printed onto the 3D structure of parts of the phone. The benefit of this is that it can enable the lightweighting and saving space for also rapid customization. Then we have other things like immobile electronics, thanks to stretchable ears. These are printed flats. They can be burner-formed or 3D-shaped with capacitive switches and mounted LEDs and so on. And coming soon, and which has been shown in research labs, is things like tyres which have embedded energy-harsing skins in them based on trying to adapt the tyres of the vehicle and use a lot. It's not only part of the structure of the tyre, it's also generating energy from that motion, putting it back into electric supply of the vehicle. So a lot of new design freedoms are going to be afforded thanks to stretchable electronics. The third aspect of all-plaster innovation is that more and more key components are becoming flexible. This event will be hearing about many of these different trends and those progress. Two things shown here include displays and also sensors. This is now allowing companies to really differentiate also great markets. We believe that the flexible display market is worth 30 billion bols 10 years from now. And that truly is being backed up with significant investment from companies. This year alone, LG and Samsung combined invested 10 billion bols in developing flexible displays. And the smaller equipment and manufacturing going into it. So you can see this is really going to happen. And that's mainly because there's great pressure on companies to differentiate versus the old glass base displays. Similarly, on the sensor side we're seeing new form factors and new capabilities. Many of the companies targeting new types of sensors are not trying to replace existing and common sensors, but they're doing new form factor and new capability to really go into new markets. You can see a few. It is there from flexible arrays of dynamic photo detectors through to strain sensors, which you can strain up to 100% and do this with millions of cycles. Then we have the overarching theme of the increase in distributed electronics. We feel like ubiquitous electronics. And this is manifesting itself in many different ways. IoT is one of the things we'll be looking at at this event, which includes things like IP-based sensors. Or which we think about 1.2 billion will be sold in 2020, going into things like smart meters, home to thermostats and sensing nodes themselves. But the real value in terms of audio is a lot of growth. There's been around a humble passive RFID tag. With this year between UHF and HF RFID, only 12 billion will be sold. And that is 7 billion hires in the week this year. So this is really big part in a wide variety of applications. More of the highlights being retail and power. And we're hearing more about these different applications. With some of the new aspects of IoT, such as IP-based sensors and nodes, of course there's always an element of hype. And so what we try to do this event is to sort of provide a case balance to really help you identify all of the short and medium term opportunities and who really is making money in this industry. So a lot of what I've spoken about so far is mainly to do with low power, you know, widely dispersed electronics with new form factors. That's only part of the story. There's not a huge trend to be coming this event, which is much more about high power electrical. And that's based on this trend that more and more things are becoming electrical. And nowhere more so is that prevailing than in the automotive industry where there's a huge amount of disruption going on at the moment. For example, we have a potential peak car scenario from 2030 thanks to autonomous vehicles, meaning that cars don't have to do a driveway from 95% of the time. They can be used much more efficiently in that autonomous vehicle world. But there are plenty more surprises to come. If we look at the electric vehicle market value 10 years out for now, we've found that despite popular thinking that most of the money will be in electric cars, it will actually be in electrical, industrial and commercial vehicles with e-buses being bigger sector taking 34% of the total e-market for land-based vehicles in 2027. Then there's other new trends that we look into the future with things like electric vehicles and energy harvesting. I think the popular point of view is that electric car is the endgame which you plug in. There the winds will be charging stations, utility companies and battery makers. We see something beyond that. We see the endgame being completely energy-informed vehicles. So this is where the vehicle harvests enough energy from energy-informed technologies on it to completely power itself. Is that a dream? Well, it's here today. You may have seen this vehicle as you walked in. It's just by the registration desk. This is such an energy-informed vehicle. It's a combination of structural electronics. Energy harvesting is a conformal PDO. It's part of the 3D printing. It ends up being what's claimed to be the world's most efficient electric vehicle. You'll be hearing more about this great story at Lengstrang this morning. But it's here for the first time in North America at this show and the whole team will have to ask some questions and learn much more about it. But energy-informed vehicles are not just about Christie's races such as this. It's becoming a commercial reality as well. Early this year, Lengstrang in China announced an energy-informed car with a range of cars, in fact. And they're going to bring this into production from around 2020 onwards. This is based on solar technology from one of their subsidiaries, Altarpyses, who are here exhibiting this event. We've developed a very lightweight Gallymarside solar technology. So it's lightweight and very light. You should see to enable it to do that. PD is just one of the many different types of energy harvesting technologies that will also be looking at within this event. We look at the full spectrum from high-power electric engineering which we think Altarpyses will have a high-smart value for those energy-hasting, through to those making many different types of energy-hasting, including thermal electrics, piezoelectric, and electric dynamics. And many of those also being used for lower-power devices such as powering sensors. An example of that is the clean-space tactics shown on the right side. And this is powered by Amint Rf from your Wi-Fi sequence from the 3G or 4G networks around you. And that triple-chargers is the battery which powers the gas sensor. And just a few years ago people said this wasn't quite possible, but here we have a product based on Amint Rf charging. This is currently being used in London and other cities. You can go by an Amazon and it's a monitoring position. We've also seen a lot of new innovation in energy-hasting this year, all of which we've come to this event, but one thing I'd like to point out is the work of triode electric energy-hasting. It's already been demonstrated that just from the motion of the heart beating from the animal that generates enough energy to power a wireless sensor. But another trend that will be covering is this convergence to multimodal energy-hasting. And in the image at the top centre here you see the powering which combines both PV with triode electric. So it's heart-energy from both sunlight and motion forming the e-text of our formats, combining many of things we've been talking about. So energy generation is one aspect, but we've also been looking at energy storage, of course. Leaving it by a margin of technology has been a fantastic technology, but really in the last 10 years we've made some incremental improvements and of course there's been the big safety concerns going into the oil line as well. So the goal is on people looking for something that offers a magnitude or more improvement in terms of performance and costs, but we're looking at close to it in our technologies. This event will be covering this whole spectrum with the latest progress and also taking into account the safety to time lines and the roadmap for these things going through. It's not just about performance and costs but also the new form factors coming through thanks to thin, flexible batteries. And a lot of that is being driven by the wearables community and large consumer electronic companies buying IP or buying companies or even developing their own flexible batteries because they're looking to embed these into wearable devices, the battery becomes less of a brick and more invisible to the wearer. Overarching all of these key topics that we're talking about is of course the huge new materials of innovation that's going on. We'll be looking at all the main different types of progress that we've seen much about before from productive things which are now stretchable and they're appearing in all devices in a washing machine currently being sold in the US. Through to the commercialisation finally of things like carbon attitudes the highlight being they're used in batteries to improve the recharging speed the highlight being the huge amount of carbon attitudes and key loads being used on each electric bus through to new types of materials which can be printed with 3D printing. We'll also be covering the wide range of manufacturing innovations to allow us to create all these exciting things and some factors from 3D printing and now that I've decided now around the hobby market we're focusing on the strong road areas including 3D metal printing and also the hardware age of all that has been made. 3D printer electronics is also printed with printer electronics and we have a range of companies now offering machinery and we see that in it and another trend coming through manufacturing is desktop sized PCB manufacturer prototyping shown here from that invention which can do this on place up to 3 or 4 layers so you can rapidly customise and turn around circuits. There's also tremendous opportunity for manufacturing these things as a result of the huge thing I see which is flexible trying to mount that onto a flexible substrate as well as different components and doing that all at high speed is very challenging so there's a lot of work going on around these hybrid devices and how to mount these at high speed with accuracy and get good performance and robustness in use as well and we'll be covering those trends. So in terms of this I really hope that I've shown you all these things are very much in related from e-textiles which are difficult to pass because they're looking to be used in things like heated seats and seat occupancy sensors to wearable technology as well as the art from Italian going into many different applications and what we've done in this event is really combined all of these technologies because there is so much of that in them we've got a concentration and these different conversations so if you're in a materials company and you're looking to understand what the car companies or where a company seats and what their problems are you can meet those from the supply chain and simulate if you're a brand you can see what are the new components and materials coming through that you can build into what I've very much going forward and a lot of the main focus that we've had to achieve at this show is really focusing on commercialization technologies that have been involved in this for 70 years tracking different things and so anything that has most value is to have big brands talking and telling and saying what are their problems and challenges and really provide that reassure to the industry so let me just finish off by telling you a little bit about the show and who's here if you look at who's here by job auction and value chain position it's really nice and spread of the best to think that there are materials companies 23% of the firm companies and 20% more of the centre we've attended these from 45 countries so it truly is a very international show and at this point they're to last year attending the 23% so there's a much larger crowd and in addition to that there's also a larger exhibition with 209 exhibitors coming from 23 countries really across the whole supply chain from those providing services and integrators machinery suppliers and supply suppliers Platinum sponsor this year is the centre of this and they were found in this group lots of machinery value including work for their partners so they take some time to take a look at their food and the gold sponsors are Agfa, Bebock sensors, the mid-technology and Zenon and if you look through just this list of the silver gold of Platinum sponsors the first range of material companies electronic manufacturing service companies and component providers I see many years of it so this is the floor plan just a few things I'd like to highlight on it we're using all the four walls this year to make sure you spend time to get all the way to the back there's plenty to see this is the second GNR we've run the I need to fix launch pad initiative the aim of the launch pad is willing to bring very large stage companies into the show on the world stage and meets the audience here so in the past, there are many other stage companies which have just been out or seeded startups and all of them are showing products or prototypes at events many of them will be showing publicly for the first time everything from smart band-aids or way through to complete energy so make sure you take a look at those we also have demonstration speakers we have a collection of samples that are hand-respected we go around a lot of programming companies so this way you can see many of these different technologies being in one place and on manufacturing suite we have many companies running and then she will receive and ask how it works we've also launched an app for this show just go to your store and search item tickets and you'll be able to download it hopefully you'll find it in a very productive tool on all the information about events and all the way around and of course we'll be on Twitter so just show the stories with the hashtag iGatechEx so before I introduce the great speakers I'd like to just tell you in one slide a little bit more about iGatechEx of course we are the host of this event but that's part of what we do and it's one of the ways in which we disseminate the information we learn about these different emerging technologies from around the world our main focus is that we provide clarity to our clients on these emerging technologies and we do that by having a great team of analysts who go around the world profile companies and their activities from across the whole supply chain and in particular we speak to any users to find out what their problems and needs are we take all this information and we then help our clients understand how can they get into the market what is the market size with the real opportunity versus what I use so we can help you take it back to approach any number that you think is team 100 but indeed if you just have any questions about anything you give us then we'll be likely to talk with you so we're here to help we're here to make sure you have a really productive and great experience at this year so without further ado I'd like to highlight what's coming next we have four great speakers we're going to cover different parts of some of the things I mentioned we're going to kick off Google is going to focus on all the data that's being collected around new way for wearables and how that's being used to improve patient experience next we have one of the world's largest consumer package goods makers, you leader now we have John Snow to go to the Festival of Package Manager and we'll be talking to us about how some of these technologies will be making impact to consumers using their products everything from ice creams to things and then we have from Intel Dr Ovid who's a VP at GM and he'll be talking about the real sense technologies and how it's going to be printing through to drones and autonomous vehicles and then we'll be that great story from all that stuff about the engine and the vehicle from the facility so I'll have the trade show over and just so you're all carefully informed once we come back after the trade show many different performance sessions each one will kick off with an ITX giving you the industry trends and the key data of those particular topics followed by key notes of each of those topics and then we'll go into the full programme so I truly hope you have a great show many questions or issues on the show don't hesitate to go to the rest of your booth or go and take a stand and I hope you have a great experience I hope you can meet many of you as well without further ado I'd like to introduce the next speaker
