Company Description:
Eleksen Ltd. is the world leader in smart and interactive textiles for consumer electronics. Eleksen’s unique fabric knows where it is being touched and how hard it is being pressed and can translate those actions into instructions for electronic products. The company’s core product, ElekTex, is based around a patented conductive material that is 100% fabric. It contains no wires or buttons and as a fabric it is durable, washable and easily tailored to meet a variety of challenging applications where hard sensors would fail to perform. Eleksen licenses its technology for incorporation into the products of electronics manufacturers and also sells its own solutions.

Product: ELEKTEX
The company’s core product, ElekTex, is based around a patented conductive material that is 100% fabric. It contains no wires or buttons and as a fabric it is durable, washable and easily tailored to meet a variety of challenging applications where hard sensors would fail to perform. At only 0.6mm it is lightweight, low power and can be configured for purposes ranging from postage stamp size up to the size of a tablecloth. This flexibility sets it apart from more brittle flexicircuits and less predictable conductive polymers and makes it more adaptable than solid-state sensors.

Market Opportunity:
The market for smart and interactive textiles is growing with applications in wearable consumer electronics, industrial and military applications, telematics, healthcare and toys.

Competitors:
No direct competitors
