Increasingly, micro and medical technology are growing together and driving each other on to new developments. According to a survey by IVAM, the Professional Association for Microtechnology (Dortmund), medical technology is the principal target sector for European microtechnology companies, with a clear lead on the telecommunication and electronic industries. Over 43 percent of the companies asked regard medical applications as the primary focus of their marketing opportunities. 
In order to offer a series of seminars on hot topics, HIMSS EMEA has increased the variety of content to our programme with two eSeminars per month: twice the opportunity to learn about the latest developments and interact with peer and colleagues from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa! These low-cost eSeminars offer a high quality educational value to help develop in-depth knowledge on hot topics and choose the most appropriate sessions. Despite its significant market expectations for a vast area of applications, many microsystems (MST, MEMS) still face key manufacturing challenges in guaranteeing stability, robustness and associated reliability within the target working environment.
