About Sami Hyyrylainen

Serial entrepreneur with 25+ years of experience building and scaling businesses in high-tech industries — including semiconductors, wireless technologies, and embedded systems — serving automotive, consumer, industrial, and medical sectors. Turning deep tech innovation into commercially successful B2B revenue through strategic sales execution, high-value negotiations, and transformative deal-making. I've worked with exceptional teams that achieved outcomes from early-stage growth to profitable revenues, and into M&A exits, including acquisitions by On2 Technologies, Google, MediaTek, LG, and IBM. Over the years, I’ve built scalable sales organizations, expanded global operations across Asia, Europe, and North America, and negotiated strategic agreements with many of the world's leading companies. At TactoTek, the world leader in In-Mold Structural Electronics (IMSE®), I’m leading the global licensing business. Our paradigm-shifting technology prints circuitry and integrates electronic components and touch controls directly onto flexible plastic substrates, molded into 3D surfaces. This enables thinner, lighter, and more sustainable electronic solutions—with superior illumination performance and greater design freedom compared to conventional electronics. TactoTek licenses IMSE technology and collaborates with OEMs, Tier suppliers, design studios, engineering companies, component & material suppliers, and other ecosystem partners across automotive, defense, consumer, industrial and medical segments. If you’re exploring next-generation smart structural electronics, I’d be glad to connect and discuss potential collaboration. In addition, active as a chairman, board member, advisor, and angel investor. Let’s connect if you’re looking to validate product–market fit, define scalable business model, build global go-to-market strategy, or pursue high-impact B2B and M&A opportunity. Based in Tokyo, Japan.
