Featured Event

Congratulations, you've selected your MEMS foundry and your technology is ready for transfer. You might think you're done, but actually, the real work is just beginning. In this panel discussion, we'll talk about how to get your new partnership off to a good start and how to navigate the stages of technology transfer, prototype and pilot production, and ramp up to volume production. We'll draw on the experiences of our moderator and panelists, as well as the new MIG Foundry Engagement Guide.

This free Webinar features MIG members:

Theodore Chi, Innovative Micro Technology (IMT)
Brian Stephenson, Tronics MEMS
Niklas Svedin, Silex Microsystems
