The Leading-Edge Cluster MicroTEC Südwest has set itself the goal of becoming the world's leading research, development and production location for intelligent products with integrated micro-systems technology.

Applied microsystems technology

Development of intelligent and energy-efficient microsystems

Protection of the environment, energy efficiency, sustainable mobility and ensuring the provision of health care are important issues for the future. To this end, microsystems technology is developing innovative solutions for increased efficiency, precision and safety. This interdisciplinary technology joins together tiny parts and structures to create increasingly intelligent systems. The MicroTEC Südwest cluster in the tri-border region where Germany, France and Switzerland meet focuses on highly innovative microsystems which can transferred to numerous user industries such as mechanical engineering or medical technology, where they trigger long-term economic effects. The cluster's main emphasis lies on its two flagship projects "In-vitro diagnostics" with market leader Roche Diagnostics and "Robust and efficient sensors" with market leader Robert Bosch.

With some 340 cluster partners MicroTEC Südwest embraces predominantly small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as other market leaders and excellent universities and research institutes in this area of technology.

The Leading-Edge Cluster has set itself the goal of becoming the world's leading research, development and production location for intelligent products with integrated micro-systems technology.
