• MEMS based sensors are a key-enabler in a wide range of applications: from automotive, over consumer to the life science domain. MEMS is expected to even further proliferate in everyday life, due to their continued miniaturization, steady increase in performance and the accessibility of new sensing functionalities.

• This is possible due to a constant high level of innovation in e.g., processing and packaging technologies, as well as due to novel system-level concepts. This shows the need for an overarching approach, integrating all development domains.

• In his presentation, Dr. Ando Feyh (MEMS Strategy Management, New Business and M&A), will cover a brief review and compare this to the progress achieved by recent advancements in the field of MEMS based sensors. Several examples from above outlined domains will be discussed for illustration.
