MEMS & Sensors Industry Group (MSIG) members and invited guest speakers will address the most pressing design, integration and supply-chain challenges and opportunities affecting the growth of MEMS and sensors over the next decade during MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress 2016, this year hosted in Munich, Germany.
MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress is a one-of-a-kind technical conference with a focus on discussing critical MEMS and sensors supply chain challenges. As the only event of its kind in Europe, MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress provides a place for neutral discussion of pre-competitive issues affecting MEMS and sensors manufacturing and brings together foundries, equipment vendors, research groups, large companies, start-ups, buyers, suppliers, and other stakeholders for solutions knowledge, networking and resources to support the imminent MEMS and sensors’ commercialization needs of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and systems integrators.
“With the promise of trillions of connected devices by the close of this decade, there is great opportunity for those in the MEMS and sensors industry. But there are several technical challenges that still remain unsolved such as technology transfer, integration, packaging/test and use of new materials for emerging technologies such as flexible, printed electronics for applications in automotive, consumer, health and even agriculture,” said Karen Lightman, executive director, MEMS & Sensors Industry Group.
Christoph Kutter, executive director, Fraunhofer Research Institution for Microsystems and Solid State Technologies EMFT (Fraunhofer EMFT), will give attendees a guided tour of his research and development organization, which is leading innovation in sensor materials, silicon technologies, flexible electronics and microdosage systems -- and which supports integration and testing of electronic systems. Mr. Kutter will also address the MEMS and sensors industry’s progress toward achieving a trillion sensors by 2020 with an overview of the recent TSensors Summit, hosted by MSIG in December 2015.
MEMS & Sensors Technology Congress will be held March 7-8, 2016 at Sofitel Munich Bayerpost, Munich, Germany. March 7 will feature sessions at Fraunhofer EMFT and a tour of the facility.
