A greek-built solar station, where electric cars are charged, is located in the center of Athens, outside Divani Caravel hotel and a smart – digital bus stop, impressed the Minister of Development and Investments Adonis Georgiadis, who opened the 11th International Conference on Flexible, Printed Electronics.
The Minister was given a tour of the Innovative Products Exhibition, where the greek company Organic Electronic Technologies presented its applications in the field of energy, lighting and “smart” buildings.
