With an expected annual growth rate of 16% the worldwide microsystems market of 11.5 billion dollars in 2004 will reach 24 billion dollars in 2009. The key reason for this growth is that more and more product innovations incorporate advanced sensors and actuators partially combined with highly sophisticated media handling.

Experts and customers from the whole MEMS and MST business will meet for the congress "Trends in Microsystems" on March 7, 2006 and will have the possibility of target-oriented business meetings with suppliers and customers at the 4th International "One-on-One Cooperation Forum Microsystems" on March 8, 2006.

Participants from more than 12 countries have already registered, among them well-known leading innovators like Acreo, Alcatel, austriamicrosystems, Colibrys, Conti Teves, Coventor, CSEM, Delo, Eltek, EVGroup, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, Freescale, Ketech, Leoni, MEMSCO, MEMSware, Merial, Nokia, Optomec, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, Sartorius, Siemens, Siemens Medical, Siemens VDO, Taeyoung Optics, TraciT, Tronic’s Microsystems, Valeo, ...

This 2-day event represents an excellent opportunity to establish further contacts for future cooperations, heading for novel customer driven microsystems, thus leading to new innovative industrial and commercial products.

Especially those companies and institutes interested in the business meetings should register as soon as possible via the online registration. Closing date for registration is February 3, 2006. In certain cases post deadline registration is also possible until February 16.
