The enablingMNT Review on Design and Engineering Companies for MST/MEMS analyses the current state of design houses in the context of microsystems markets and development trends. It provides an assessment for the various types of design houses in terms of the facilities and the capabilities on offer and their position within the product development chain and its lifecycle. With over 75 organisations studied and compared, the state of design houses across the world has been evaluated.

The study has established that design houses have, of late, become more evident, as the potential advantages of microsystems-based components and (sub) systems materialised for many varied applications (automotive, IT and medical).

Design houses appear to offer the multi-disciplinary approach necessary to fully understand and exploit the potential of the technology, due to their having a more flexible access to a wider range of capabilities and expertise than either a foundry or a specialised industry will have. In addition, the design houses claim to provide an ideal gateway to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for accessing the technology that, generally, would be prohibitively expensive to undertake. In essence, the proliferation of design houses is becoming a vital element for the realisation of the predicted future market potential.

The enablingMNT industry review on Design and Engineering Companies for MST/MEMS has been published in January 2007. It has more than 115 pages, which include 9 tables, 10 figures, and 77 company profiles.
