Technology - Smaller! Smarter! Integrated!

Smart Systems Integration allows you to form a system out of components which is able to gain information from the environment, to process it electronically, to communicate signals and data and to give enabled feedback signal to the ambience.

The whole system is subject to the trend of today’s world: miniaturization, networking capability, energy-autonomy and reliability. Due to increasing complexity and multidisciplinarity developing teams in fields of microsystems- and nanotechnology, optics, fluidics, biology, medical science, electronics and wireless communication technologies face highest demands.

Smart Systems Integration is the international communication platform for research institutes and manufacturers to exchange know-how on smart systems integration and to create the basis for successful research cooperations with focus on Europe.
