The 6th German-Japanese Micro/Nano Business Forum at the Nano Micro Biz on July 4, 2013 in Tokyo attracted more than 450 Japanese industry representatives.
 
With his keynote presentations Prof. Gessner from the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS provided an excellent overview about “3D-Integration for Smart Systems”. Prof. Dr. Kentaro Totsu from Tohoku University gave a lecture about “Open-access Facility for MEMS R&D and Production”. Particularly the presentation from Dr. Hiroyuki Yagyu from Panasonic Corporation about “Energy Harvesting Devices with Micro-machining Structures” attracted a large number of visitors. While Benjamin Hefler from Taisei Kogyo introduced “Research and Development of Micro Metal Injection Molding”, Bernhard Klimt from Coherent Kaiserslautern talked about “High Quality Micro-machining with ps-lasers: The Process, Examples and Cost of Ownership”. Finally Prof. Dr. Susumu Sugiyama from Ritsumeikan University showcased “Development of Polymer MEMS Process Technology and Its Application” while Morihito Hagura from Polytec Japan presented “A new Optical Measurement Method for 3-D Vibration and Motion Measurement of MEMS / Micromachines”.
 
The forum was organized by the IVAM Microtechnology Network, with support of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Energy and Industry of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Micromachine Center in Tokyo and the Mesago Messe Frankfurt Corporation. A continuation of the forum in 2014 is planned. It will again take place within the Nano Micro Biz / ROBOTECH exhibition, which will move to Yokohama next year.
