Keynote
Clear Sound, Clean Air: How disruptions in MEMS speakers and particulate matter sensors make our lives more comfortable and healthier.
MEMS already brought several disruptive innovations in the past from pressure sensors to inertial measurement units. With MEMS speakers, wide band accelerometers and ultra-small particle sensors new technologies enable new use cases. We will have a close look on these fascinating technologies and use cases that make our lives more comfortable and healthier.
