MEMS | REPORT
Summary I believe that the objective of the 2013 annual MEMS Industry Commercialization Report Card of providing a valuable tool for MEMS industry participants to objectively monitor the ‘health’ of the MEMS industry has been realised once again. I strongly recommend that MEMS industry participants should embrace the famous George Santayana quotation: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”[3]. The results of the 2013 Report Card should provide industry participants with valuable information to effectively help craft their business strategies in the future.
Want to learn more? For a more comprehensive look at the 2013 MEMS Industry Report Card, I recommend that you visit my website
www.rgrace.com to see much more information including verbatim responses of the participants on each of the 14 topics.
The 2013 MEMS Commercialization Report Card will be presented at the MEMS Industry Group (MIG) organised pre- conference session on June 24 at the Sensors Expo Conference in Rosemont Illinois:
