‘Trillion sensors’ initiative joins MEMS Industry Group
MIG, which promotes the use of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and sensors across global markets, has announced that it is creating a TSensors division to be headed up by TSensors founder Janusz Bryzek.
"By joining MEMS Industry Group – with its depth in promoting MEMS commercialization – we will be able to increase the momentum and breadth of TSensors’ initiatives," said Bryzek in a statement.
TSensors Summit has held six international events to date, located in UC Berkeley, Stanford University, Tokyo, Munich and San Diego, comprising over 200 presentations.
MIG is providing administration for a next TSensors summit, which takes place in Orlando, Florida, December 9 and 10, 2015.
"TSensors has proven itself to be vibrant and incredibly innovative, with initiatives designed to positively change the human experience through the widespread adoption of sensors," said Karen Lightman, executive director, MEMS Industry Group. "Clearly this is an ambitious goal – but. with the success of past TSensors Summits, combined with MIG’s global membership base and organizational structure, I am confident that this goal has a greater potential for realization."
TSensors Summit was formed in 2012 by Bryzek to accelerate the development of sensors supporting the vision of "Abundance" as presented in the bestselling book "Abundance: The Future is Better than You Think" by Peter H. Diamandis, chairman and CEO of the X PRIZE Foundation, and Steven Kotler (also see video below). The Abundance vision is that by the mid-2030s, it will be possible – through the use of eight exponential technologies, one of which being networked sensors – to end hunger on earth, provide medical care and clean energy to all, and eliminate global pollution.
