The scope of these promotional efforts varies substantially between regions. In the United States, federal government support is generally regarded as appropriate for basic, generic research and basic infrastructure, whereas public support for the development of products and industrial processes can be controversial.

. looking at a far broader range of printed components than is pursued in East Asia." European programs are promoting an extra rdinary o range of flexible electronics–based applications, including "smart packaging," printed flexible rechargeable batteries, radio frequency identifications, lighting systems, ubiquitous sensor networks for health care, smart textiles, and touch screens.3 In the East Asian countries Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan, government promotional efforts in flexible electronics are heavily concentrated on development of flexible displays for consumer applications such as smartphones, TVs, and e-readers.

states are supporting the establishment of flexible electronics innovation clusters to commercialize research results from local universities. In October 2013, the Canadian government announced a new promotional effort and an industrial consortium to foster the development of printed electronics technologies, involving a $40 million investment by the National Research Council of Canada over a 5-year period.

Research collaborations with commercial objectives involving multiple firms and research organizations are inherently challenging, particularly in countries such as the United States, with a deeply embedded tradition of individualism, or South Korea, characterized by intense rivalry between industrial groups -- which underscores the value of examining other national models. In continental Europe, longstanding industrial traditions of collaboration are currently buttressed by institutional arrangements for applied research, involving powerful financial 13 Craig Boardman and Denis Gray, "The New Science and Engineering Management: Cooperative Research Centers as Government Policies, Industry Strategies and Organizations," Journal of Technology Transfer, February 2010, 447.

The study observed that there were more than 17 OLAE clusters in Europe with more emerging and that at least 400 firms and institutions active in the field were ocated in these clusters.20 In a 2010 presentation on Korean initiatives l in flexible and printed electronics, Professor Changhee Lee of Seoul National University emphasized the nine innovation clusters of companies, research institutes, and universities that have emerged in South Korea in this sector. 21 The 17 "European Project Develops Flexible OLED Lighting Production Process," Plastic Electronics, February 8, 2013.
