IoSense’s overall project goal is to boost the European competitiveness of the electronics components and systems industries by increasing the pilot production capacity and improving time-to-market for innovative microelectronics, accomplished by establishing fully connected pilot lines in ‘More than Moore’ technologies, supporting discrete and integrated sensor solutions including ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), test beds, device packaging and assembly to accelerate the uptake of KETs (Key Enabling Technologies). The new pilot lines will form a network with existing specialized R&D and manufacturing lines to work as a European modular solution system. In particular the segment of sensor technologies and MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems), which plays a key role in solving the grand societal challenges, related to Smart Mobility, Society, Energy, Health and Production will be addressed.

Consortium

IoSense spans expertise and partners along the whole value chain involving main actors in the respective domains. All partners complement each other in a well-balanced and structured way avoiding overlaps and covering all then expertise needed. Large companies, SMEs and research institutes have all capabilities and necessary infrastructure for research, manufacturing as well as bringing the results to market. The IoSense consortium connects 33 partners from 6 countries in Europe, cf. Figure 1. (IoSense homepage, 2016)
