About MMS
The Micromachine Summit was first organized in 1995 by the Micromachine Center in Japan and provides a snapshot of worldwide industrial, academic and government initiatives.
Origin of Micromachine Summit
The Micromachine Summit was first organized in 1995 by the Micromachine Center (Japan) with representatives from ten countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. At the 2nd Summit the Micromachine Center was appointed to the permanent secretariat of the Micromachine Summit.
The purpose of the 1st Micromachine Summit was to promote micromachines through the forthright discussion on various issues covering from R&D to commercialization by high-level representatives of universities, research institutes and private corporations in countries/regions being involved in micromachine technology.
Since then, just as small technologies have advanced around the world, the Summit has grown and moved around the globe, with locations in Montreux, Vancouver, Melbourne, Glasgow, Hiroshima, Maastricht, Glasgow, Grenoble, and Dallas.
The homepage of the Micromachine Summit is decided to be on the Micromachine Center’s web site. The homepage displays past programs, participants, and chairman’s summaries, in addition to plans for the staging of future summits.
Micromachine Summit
The Micromachine Summit provides a Micro-Nano Technology snapshot to worldwide industrial, academic and government initiatives. Three to four key people from the most important regions and countries in the Microtechnology arena participate in the Summit. Delegates gather in a roundtable environment to address topics of special interest and discuss the progress and policies in each country and region.
