As their President and CEO Emmanuel Ar\u00e8ne\u00a0puts it, &#8220;Primo 1D are now armed for rapid development and growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Primo 1D&#8217;s\u00a0E-Thread\u00ae technology is an innovation which enables the discrete incorporation of\u00a0electronics in textile or moulded plastics. E-Thread\u00ae can be use like traditional threading, but\u00a0due to its\u00a0ultra microscopic size incorporates information\u00a0into the\u00a0very core of\u00a0material and objects, which remains with the object or material\u00a0throughout its life.<\/p>\n<p>How E-Thread\u00ae technology works is that it enables direct connection of a chip to a set of two conductors behaving as an antenna, a power and\/or a data bus. It&#8217;s superior to the\u00a0standard solutions in which the connection to an external conductor is made in two stages: an internal connection to a housing (\u201cbonding\u201d), and a connection of the housing to the outer conductors.\u00a0The big\u00a0benefit of their technology\u00a0is its significant size advantage which is 10X smaller and, as a result, leads to a reduction in assembly time and reliability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It&#8217;s evident that Primo 1D, with their E-Thread\u00ae technology, will be well positioned to be a big enabler of\u00a0the fast-growing, increasingly ubiquitous connected objects space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Created just a year ago, Primo 1D, one of the E-thread\u00ae technology, pioneers have just closed a \u20ac3 million round, led by Sofimac\u00a0Partners and Rhone Alpes\u00a0Creation (R2V)\u00a0with a consortium of\u00a0Angels and other institutional funds participating.\u00a0 Primo 1D, who grew out of Grenoble-based digital innovation lab and hub LETI and were also an exhibitor at our<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":26582,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[113],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-finance"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26566"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26566\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26582"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rudebaguette.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
