At a symposium held in Canada in 2006, Dan Gale, VP and CTO of CMC Microsystems,

* Overview of microsystems in a supply chain context - the innovative use
of materials, components and platforms based on microsystems technologies for
the creation of competitive products for multiple sectors.
* Highly qualified people with microsystems expertise who are deployed
across all sectors of the Canadian economy: researchers and developers who
have benefited from access to CMC's product and service portfolio for
microsystems design, make and test, including opportunities in monolithic and
hybrid integration.

gaining alignment, filling gaps and stimulating international
interest...across people, plans and resources...nationally, regionally and
