MEMSland puts the Netherlands on the MEMS map

MEMSland, the first and for a long time largest programme under the Point-One flag has come to an end. In the Closing Symposium, held on 3 December 2009 at TNO’s in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, project leaders, participants and others looked back at an extremely successful programme. The co-operation between small and large companies, universities and research institutes was exemplary, resulting in a series of promising business cases, and the Netherlands was firmly put on the MEMS map. However, MEMSland has not yet led to a net increase in MEMS-related jobs.
