The figures for HANNOVER MESSE 2011 are certainly impressive, and they underline the key role played by this event in shaping our industrial future and charting the economic fortunes of our technology-based industries. Over 6,500 businesses from 65 countries came to Hannover to display their solutions.

MACH helps to raise the profile of the industry as a whole, and the companies that contribute to it.

MACH is the premier showcase for the UK's manufacturing industry, designed to promote and advance the sector on a world-class stage.

To register your interest in exhibiting at the exhibition, or to discuss sponsorship opportunities, please contact Graham Dewhurst at the Manufacturing Technologies Association via email, gdewhurst@mta.org.uk or phone, 020 7298 6400.

The event is part of the activities of EPoSS, the European Technology Platform on Smart Systems Integration.

The concurrent exhibition is the right place for research institutions, manufacturers, suppliers, service providers, producers of sub-assemblies, components and systems in the sectors microsystems and nanotechnology, microelectronics, micromechanics, sensor technology and wireless communication.

The Smart Systems Integration 2012 will be held in collaboration with the European Executive Congress of MEMS Industry Group.

Through keynotes, panel discussions, and numerous networking opportunities, MEMS Executive CongressSM creates an intimate forum for decision-makers to grow the global MEMS market.

Attendee Demographics

MEMS Executive Congress is geared towards senior-level executives in the both the MEMS supply chain, as well as companies that integrate MEMS into their products. Attendees include (but are not limited to):

• Device manufacturers who design and manufacturer MEMS accelerometers, gyroscopes, microfluidics, sensors, and RF MEMS.
• Buyers of MEMS that integrate the devices into applications that enhance motion sensing, deliver drugs, orientation sensing, thermal sensing, and image stabilization, to name a few.
• Foundries with specialties in the latest MEMS technologies including wafer-level packaging and through-silicon vias.
• Suppliers with expert knowledge of etch, deposition, bonding, and the latest substrates.
• Analysts from inside and outside the MEMS industry.

The European medtech industry comprised according to latest statistic from Eucomed revenue of over €95 billion of which € 7.5 billion trace back to investments in research and development projects.

With over 1000 exhibiting companies and 13,500+ attendees at the latest edition MEDTEC Europe is by far the largest exhibition providing a 360-degree overview on the products and technologies needed for the state-of-the-art and the next-generation medical devices

The successful concept of MEDTEC Europe is rounded up by the prestigious conference and Innovation Forum, being a must for professionals looking to broaden their knowledge of both practical and regulatory issues.

The co-location of DesignMed Europe and SüdTec expand the variety of the products and services offered at the show.

We look forward to welcoming you as an exhibitor or visitor alike.

MEDTEC Europe is far more then products and technology on display. MEDTEC Europe conference also provides you with vital advice and guidance on issues such as Health Technology Assessment, Pricing & Reimbursement; Human Factors Engineering, How to take your Device to the USA; Device Design & Quality; Risk Management and Testing; and the New Emerging Regulatory Environment.

The 7th International Conference on MicroManufacturing (ICOMM 2012) focuses on the processes, equipment, and systems for fabricating miniature parts with micro-scale features. Papers are sought to address theoretical and applied research issues related to manufacture, assembly, and metrology for components and systems with micro-scale features. Papers are also sought that describe interesting applications of both current and emerging micromanufacturing methods and equipment, including those that bridge the nano- and macro- worlds.

All papers must be technical in nature and include original work. Copyrights remain with the authors.

We look forward to seeing you at Northwestern University.

With the evolution of nanotechnology, application fields have broadened. Recently, nanotechnology based products and technologies became a key factor for the solution of important issues such as IT & electronics field, medical & health care, biotechnology, environment & energy problems.

In nano tech, all cutting edge technologies and products will gather from all application fields as well as nano materials, ultrafine processing technology and evaluation and measurement fields.

nano tech 2012 will be held together with seven concurrent exhibitions: Inter Aqua 2012, ASTEC2012, METEC2012, Printable Electronics 2012, Convertech JAPAN 2012, neo functional material 2012 and the new Eco-cell Battery Expo 2012. All eight exhibitions together will cover market places in various industries and enable business exchange for leading edge technology and products.

This is a major event for international scholars in the areas of Precision Assembly held in Chamonix, France. The official language of the Seminar is English.

The aim of the seminar is to discuss the rapidly evolving field of micro-assembly, including the development of microfactories and microsystem fabrication.

IPAS 2012 Keynote
Mark Summers - Head of Manufacturing Engineering Research at Airbus. ]]> Minam events http://www.minamwebportal.eu/index.php?m1=Public-Area&l1=News#idnews89 Following in the success of the first two editions, The Micronarc Alpine Meeting 2012 will continue its focus on equipment for manufacturing microproducts.

This 2.5 day conference intends to stimulate networking and discussions in the casual atmosphere of Villars, a charming village and ski resort located at 1250 meters of altitude. A selection of invited speakers and presentations will comprise the program. A small, table-top exhibition will be conducted in parallel for those wishing to promote their company and products.

The conference will take place on a Monday and Tuesday, thus permitting participants that wish to arrive early to take advantage of the proximity to the ski lifts or simply relax for a couple of days in a laid-back alpine setting. A conference dinner on Monday evening at 1800 meters of altitude will add a touch of local charm.

A limited number of participants will be able to attend the event. Don’t miss it!
