Sensorization of our world and our products is continuing at an ever increasing pace. Sensors improve our infrastructure, manufacturing productivity and quality of life, leveraging technology that originated from MEMS academic research. This talk will highlight the most noteworthy MEMS technologies currently emerging from research activities around the world. The criteria for noteworthiness are: offers a solution to a known or anticipated commercial market need, has a path to scalable manufacturing, and is a technology game-changer. Nearly all of the technologies to be presented will need many more years of intensive development to reach full commercialization. Nevertheless, they each hold potential to create new waves of business opportunity in our industry while bringing new capabilities and features to our digital world.
