Most of today's blockbuster MEMS products—from pressure sensors to accelerometers—originated from academic research. This talk will summarize the most noteworthy MEMS and sensor technologies emerging from research activities around the world— game-changer technologies that offer a solution to a known or anticipated commercial market need, and have a path to scalable manufacturing. Nearly all of the technologies to be presented will need many more years of intensive development and probably more than $100M in investment to reach full commercialization. Nevertheless, they each hold potential to create new waves of activity and opportunity in the MEMS and sensors industry. Come away from this presentation with perspectives on questions like these: Which sensor technologies will we find just over the horizon? When will we see MEMS and sensors on non-silicon materials? How can sensor innovators and manufacturers get into the flow of future trends?
