Graphene-Connect 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most content-rich virtual gatherings for the graphene and 2D materials community, with a program that spans manufacturing, standards, intelligent materials, energy, and next‑gen electronics. Held online on 11–12 March 2026 on the TechBlick platform and co‑curated with Graphene-Info, it offers live talks, networking, and year-round access to the full TechBlick library of over 1,500 talks. Graphene-Connect tickets start at our special early bird price of $400 (with discounts available for group passes).
Why join Graphene‑Connect 2026?
Live, online access to a world-class agenda covering graphene materials, batteries, electronics, composites, filters, concrete, EMI shielding, anti‑corrosion and more.Year‑round access to all recordings of this event plus past and future TechBlick online and onsite programs, including Perovskite Connect, MicroLED Connect, Batteries RESHAPED, and Electronics RESHAPED.A curated platform to reconnect the global industrial value chain after a pause in dedicated graphene conferences, with start‑ups, scale‑ups, national labs and major corporates all represented.
Industrial scale & manufacturing: General Graphene
From the production side, General Graphene Corporation will present “From Lab to Line: Advancing Roll‑to‑Roll CVD Graphene Manufacturing,” highlighting how continuous CVD processes are moving graphene from pilot runs to industrially relevant throughput. This talk, led by Tuqeer Nasir, is highly relevant for anyone interested in cost, scalability and integration of CVD graphene into real products across electronics, coatings and composites.
Focus on roll‑to‑roll CVD as a pathway from research lines to commercial manufacturing.Insight into process engineering and scale‑up challenges that matter to OEMs and material suppliers.
Standards & trust in the supply chain: NPL
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) brings a metrology and standards perspective with “Enabling Graphene Applications through Measurement and Standardisation.” Principal Research Scientist Andrew Pollard will discuss how reliable, accurate and standardized measurements underpin the ability of end‑users to compare materials from different suppliers.
Overview of current ISO/IEC international measurement standards for the graphene family and their material properties.Results from interlaboratory comparisons (e.g., Raman and TEM for CVD graphene) and development of rapid, low‑cost quality control methods such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance proton relaxation.
Intelligent graphene materials at scale: Graphene Innovations Manchester
On the application and engineering side, Graphene Innovations Manchester will present “Engineering the Future: Graphene‑Enabled Intelligent Materials at Industrial Scale.” In this talk, Vivek Koncherry explores how advanced integration of graphene is reshaping structural performance, thermal management and sustainability across composite structures and construction matrices at an industrial scale.
Discussion of dispersion control, interfacial engineering and multifunctional design for smarter, adaptive materials.Focus on linking graphene with intelligent manufacturing, automated process control and scalable production pathways for future infrastructure and energy systems.
AI‑enabled biosensing: Graphenea
Graphenea will showcase the frontier of graphene nanoelectronics with “Graphene Field‑Effect Transistors as a Platform for Intelligent, Flexible Biosensors.” CEO Jesus De La Fuente will detail how graphene field‑effect transistors (GFETs) enable ultra‑sensitive, label‑free, real‑time biosensing and can be integrated into flexible, wearable or implantable devices.
Exploration of how coupling GFET outputs with AI and machine learning reduces signal variability, suppresses noise and improves diagnostic accuracy.Coverage of fabrication strategies, signal transduction and data‑driven analysis for point‑of‑care and continuous monitoring applications.
Beyond materials to impact: Graphene Valley
Graphene Valley bridges technology and policy with “How Graphene is Shaping America’s Future.” President Mark Ritchie will connect graphene‑related products and services to national‑scale challenges such as extreme weather, water stress, cyberattacks, energy costs and fragile supply chains.
Perspective on how graphene innovation can help the US address short‑term resilience issues while reinforcing long‑term global leadership and competitiveness.Strategic framing valuable for executives, policymakers and investors who want to link graphene deployments to broader economic and societal priorities.
For both graphene professionals and developers interested in graphene materials, Graphene‑Connect 2026 offers a rare combination of deep technical content, practical industrial insights, and strategic perspectives across the global graphene and 2D materials ecosystem. With sessions spanning metrology, manufacturing, advanced applications, AI‑driven devices and national innovation strategy, this virtual event is an excellent opportunity to stay ahead of the curve, benchmark your roadmap and build new partnerships from anywhere in the world.
