CEA (Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives) is a French government-funded technological research organisation. CEA has several research labs across France, but Grenoble is the location where most of the activities in printed electronics take place. In 2011, CEA launched a prototyping fabrication facility under the name PictiC. The printing equipment is housed in a 650 m2 clean room and is dedicated to the design and fabrication of devices on plastic foils.
