Davor Sutija, PhD
1987 Hertz Fellow

Imagine the possibility of the Internet of Things, by bringing intelligence to disposable goods. Dr. Davor Sutija, Hertz Fellow 1987, CEO of Thinfilm Electronics ASA, is leading the development of printed electronics and printed rewritable memory. Davor’s vision is a world where every item is tagged with memory and sensors, harvesting information that then can be gathered at leisure, whether to integrate memory into toys or collectible cards, to detect product authenticity, or to source ingredients from farm to fork. Davor also worked at Microsoft, FAST, and the Renewable Energy Corporation ASA. He is a PhD graduate from UC Berkeley in chemical engineering, where he developed novel microsensors.

“Everybody is talking about delivering products directly to the consumer and this is a way for brands to level the playing field with the big technology companies such as Google or Facebook that until now have been dominating mobile marketing,” Sutija said. “Adding some intelligence to your packaging, allowing consumers who see the product to be able to learn about it and interact with it before they buy, really improves conversion and educates consumers about quality.”
